On an Islamic Militant site frequented by terrorists the Mujahideen Shura Council released a video of a raid on the Interior Ministry jail in Baghdad. The raid took place on March 22, 2006 and it is reported that over 200 masked Resistance stormed the Interior Ministry jail killing at least 18 police officers, freeing all the prisoners and leaving the facility a smoldering wreck.

The battle raged for nearly an hour at the jail, in Muqdadiya, 60 miles northeast of Baghdad, as the fighters blasted government buildings with mortars, grenades and machine guns. It was reported that the Resistance cut telephone lines and then detonated several roadside bombs to block reinforcement troops from reaching the jail.
