At least 17 bodies found near Iraqi desert town
At least 17 bodies have been found scattered in separate locations near a town close to the Syrian border that is considered an insurgent hotbed, with one group of 11 shot in the head and another beheaded.
Eyewitnesses today said the 11 bodies had their hands tied behind their backs and were wearing civilian clothes. They were found near a small hamlet called Jabab, about 19 miles east of Qaim. It was unclear when they were killed.
