14 Sunni Iraqi men shot dead, dumped in Baghdad
 The bullet-riddled bodies of 14 Sunni Arab men purportedly seized by police a week ago were found dumped in Baghdad in the latest bout of Sunni-Shiite sectarian violence in the capital, a top Sunni group said on Saturday. The grisly discovery threatens to further polarize Iraqs ethnic and religious groups at the same time as Iraqi officials are trying to form a national unity government, which the United States hopes will lead to a curbing of this countrys rampant bloodshed. Sunni Arab leaders protested the killing, saying the victims were rounded up at a mosque on the northern outskirts of Baghdad last week and were found by relatives late Friday in the same area. The bodies were taken to a morgue to be collected by their families.Posted by: Fred 2006-02-04 |
