20 bodies found in western Iraq
FALLUJAH â Police said yesterday they had found the bodies of 20 people dumped in two separate locations in an area of western Iraq well-known for insurgency violence. Eleven men in civilian clothes were found on Monday dumped next to the main highway that links Baghdad to the border with Jordan in Iraqâs west, police said. The bodies were found near the town of Rutba, 370km west of Baghdad, in the mainly Sunni desert province of Anbar. The bodies all had their hands tied and the men appeared to have been killed three days ago. Their identities were not clear. Also yesterday, police said the bodies of nine civilians had been found a day earlier beside a road near Fallujah, 50km west of Baghdad. All nine had gunshot wounds.
