Iraq police say find 36 bodies of dumped shooting victims

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi police said on Thursday they have discovered the bodies of 36 people shot dead and dumped in a shallow river south of Baghdad.

Provincial police chief Brigadier-General Abdel Haneen Hamoud told Reuters by telephone that the victims were men left in their underwear, each with a single bullet wound to the head.

The bodies were found in the Shi'ite province of Wasit, between the towns of al-Dibouni and al-Jafan, Hamoud said, adding that an investigation was underway to try and identify the bodies.

Sectarian violence has raised fears of civil war in Iraq.
