Headless body found in Iraqi river

Iraqi police have found a decapitated body in an orange jump-suit on the banks of the Tigris River north of Baghdad.

The identity of the body, discovered last night in Beiji, 155 miles north of the Iraqi capital, was not immediately clear, police said.

Bulgaria said it was investigating whether it was one of two of its citizens seized by militants loyal to an al-Qaida ally.

Another headless body in an orange jump-suit was found in the Tigris in the same area earlier this month. It has yet to be identified.
