Sectarian attacks kill 30 a day in Baghdad--U.S.

BAGHDAD, March 16 (Reuters) - The number of sectarian killings in Baghdad has risen to an average of 30 a day from 10 a day since last month's bombing of a Shi'ite shrine, a U.S. military spokesman said on Thursday.

The dumping of bodies, many of them bound and showing signs of torture, has long been a feature of Iraq's violence.

...

The bodies of at least 80 people apparently killed in sectarian attacks were found in Baghdad in the 48-hour period that ended on Monday. Those killings followed the death of 50 people in car bomb attacks in a Shi'ite militia stronghold.

Major General Rick Lynch told reporters al Qaeda and foreign fighters were behind many of the sectarian killings as part of a campaign to incite ever worse sectarian violence in Iraq.

That is not 'sectarian violence' that is us good european-american christians killing filthy iraqi muslims. Any suggestion of similarity is absurd.
