WASHINGTON, Sept 5 (Reuters) The Iraqi National Police force should be scrapped and reorganized because of ethnic divisions in its ranks, a new US report said today.

''The National Police have proven operationally ineffective,'' said the independent commission headed by retired Marine Gen. James Jones. The report's conclusions and recommendations were obtained by Reuters.

''Sectarianism in its units undermines its ability to provide security; the (police) force is not viable in its current form,'' the report said. ''The National Police should be disbanded and reorganized.'' REUTERS PDT RN0002
