LATIFIYAH, March 8: The Iraqi army said it found on Tuesday 15 beheaded corpses, both men and women, on an old military base near Latifiyah, south of Baghdad.
The army raided the old Hatin army base, now believed to be used by guerillas, and found the corpses, said Captain Mohammed Abdel Hussein Al Saedi.
The soldiers launched the operation after reports that some Shia pilgrims on their way to the holy cities of Karbala and Najaf had disappeared near Latifiyah, around 40 kilometres south of Baghdad, where guerillas frequently launch attacks on occupation troops, Saedi said. -AFP
