BAGHDAD: The bullet-riddled bodies of 10 young men were found in Baghdad yesterday, in a bleak reminder of Iraq’s brutal Sunni-Shia sectarian conflict that almost tore the country apart.
Security and morgue officials said the unidentified men — aged 17 to 25 — had been shot in the head and chest. They had been dead for up to two days, an army source said.
The corpses were recovered close to a disused pharmaceuticals plant at Mahamel in eastern Baghdad near the Shia district of Sadr City.
Yesterday, at least eight people were killed and 25 wounded by a bomb in a market in Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad, while five people, including four soldiers, died in other attacks, officials said.
