ARMY BID TO CLEAN UP POLICE
UK TROOPS launched a massive drive in Iraq yesterday to purge the British-controlled south of police corruption.
One thousand Brits and 2300 Iraqi forces launched the campaign, dubbed Operation Sinbad, in Basra.
The operation may run until February as commanders prepare to hand the country's second city back to the Iraqis.
Unseating the militias who have infiltrated the police is being seen as a good move towards winning Iraqi hearts and minds.
Eight to 10-man Royal Military Police "transition teams" are being put in city police stations for 30 days at a time.
It is part of a concerted effort to bring the police up to scratch.

The operation aims to root out the Shia militias who have effectively infiltrated the police since 2005, enabling them to impose their own control on the city.
Operation Sinbad will also include a renewed reconstruction effort, redeveloping hospitals and distributing educational material to the city's schools.
Charlie Burbridge, British Army spokesman in Basra, said: "It is broadly akin to the operation that's been going on in Baghdad.
"We're not going house to house, although we have a search warrant that allows us to do that.
"If there is specific intelligence that a place needs to be searched, we will do that.
"But the focus is really on increasing the standard of living for your average Basra resident."
