- Story Text: Bodies of six men found executed at Mosul roadside
The bodies of six men, all shot in the head as if
executed, were discovered in the northern Iraqi city of
Mosul on Tuesday (December 14, 2004), bringing the total
of such corpses found to 14 in two days.
A Reuters correspondent in Mosul saw the six corpses
lying in the grass at the side of a main highway in western
Mosul. They were wearing civilian clothes and their
identities were not clear.
A hospital official said eight similar bodies had been
found in a cemetery in the west of the city on Monday
(December 13).
Dozens of bodies, many from the Iraqi security forces,
have turned up in Mosul since Sunni Arab insurgents routed
the U.S.-trained police force last month.
Some have also appeared to be the victims of ethnic
strife between Arabs and Kurds in the region.
Other corpses, the victims of guerrilla attacks and
bandits, turn up regularly across Iraq.
