BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Sixteen dead bodies were found on Thursday in a ditch in a town north of Baghdad within Iraq's most violent province, police said.

Police said the bodies found near Muqdadiya in Diyala province, all adult males, appeared to have been killed recently. Twelve of them had been beheaded, the other four shot in the head.

Diyala Province, an ethnically- and religiously-mixed region north of Baghdad, has been the scene of the worst violence in Iraq in recent months.

1. I saw that headline..and tought...16 bodies in a ditch..WOW..

but when I read 'in Iraq' my thought was oh well. but think about it. If we extrapolate the numbers and it WAS in the USA it would have been 160 bodies in a ditch. (they have 25 million, we have 250 million) THAT WOULD GET ANYONE'S ATTENTION...EXCEPT IF IT HAPPENED IN IRAQ!
