The shocking images come from Iraq's new killing fields - the small town of Madain, just 32km from Baghdad. In other times the massacre might have prompted calls for international intervention. But there are already 150,000 US and British troops in Iraq and this was done under their noses... Madain has had no police force since a mob of criminals and insurgents burned down the police station last year. The police fled. Sunni guerillas quickly took over, running the town as their own criminal fiefdom and randomly killing Shia residents, whom they considered infidels and US sympathisers. Then they launched an all-out attempt to purge the town of its Shia.
