With less than a week to go before voting day, insurgents went after the

Iraqi police seem powerless to stop the violence.

THEY'RE CASING THEIR VOTES UNDER THE SHADOW OF AMERICAN GUNS.
Hours after today's bombing, Iraqi forces said they captured the top
bomb maker in Abu Musab al Zarqawi's network.
Iraqi authorities say the suspect has already confessed to involvement
in 75 percent of car bomb attacks in the country.
They say he's been in custody for more than a week...but with Zarqawi's
group claiming responsibility for the latest attack, the terror network
is proving that it can operate without him.
And there's a threat of more to come. In a message posted on an
Islamist website, Zarqawi has warned of an "all out" war during Iraq's
elections, threatening candidates and voters alike.. telling them to
stay home or pay the price. Charlie D'Agata, CBS News, Baghdad.
