60 bodies found in Baghdad in 24 hours
2006-09-14
(KUNA) -- Iraqi Police found 60 dead human bodies in several areas of Baghdad in the past 24 hours, sources of the Iraqi Interior Ministry said on Wednesday. Most bodies were bound and had signs of torture and shooting in the head and other parts, they added. Finding the bodies came just one day after an Iraqi Health Ministry report was issued showing that 1,500 people were killed last August.

A medical source, who requested anonymity, told KUNA the number of victims does not include most people killed in the daily bomb explosions across the country. A total of 90 percent of them were corpses found shot and dumped in Baghdad, while ten percent were tortured, stabbed, and beheaded. A report issued by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) pointed out that the morgues received 1,850 bodies in July, 1,350 in June, 1, 398 in May, 1,155 in April, 1,294 in March, and 1,110 in February.
