The Egyptian ministry of the interior announced on Saturday that there are more than 250 Iraqi policemen in the police academy in Cairo where they are rehabilitated in the framework of Egypt's commitment to train the Iraqi security forces.

One official at the ministry said that the 259 Iraqi policemen arrived in Cairo on Friday and started their first training session on Saturday.

In the same context, the American occupation forces announced from Baghdad that the Iraqi air force last Wednesday made its first air sorties since the collapse of the topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in 2003.
