Robbers stole $5.5 million from a bank near the Iraqi city of Najaf on Friday after a policeman drugged fellow bank guards by slipping sleeping medication into their tea, police and government officials said.
Loay al-Yasiri, a provincial official in charge of security for Najaf, said the robbery took place at dawn at the state-run Al-Rafidain bank in the town of al-Mishkhab, about 20 miles south of Najaf. (AP)
