Three beheaded bodies found near Baghdad

SECURITY forces discovered three beheaded bodies yesterday on a road north of Baghdad.

Elsewhere, a car bomb exploded in Suwayrah, about 40 miles south of Baghdad, killing two people amid a surge of violence that has left more than 200 dead in the past four days.

The three bodies were found without documents near Dijiel, about 25 miles north of Baghdad, said Colonel Adnan Abdul-Rahman of the Interior Ministry. They were all male and had tattoos, he said. Some reports said the men’s heads were strapped to their backs.
