General Malik Maliki of the Eighth division of Iraq's Federal Police patrols on the outskirts of the mostly Shia neighborhood of Khadamiya in north Baghdad. At a checkpoint not far from here, just hours before his visit, a suicide car bomb attack killed two of his men. With violence on the rise in the Iraqi capital, Maliki admits he'll likely lose more officers to similar attacks.
