10 bodies found in Baghdad, including 13-year-old girl

Iraqi authorities today reported finding 10 more bullet-riddled bodies dumped in the capital Baghdad, one of them that of a 13-year-old girl.

The 10 bodies were the latest gruesome discoveries tied to the underground sectarian war being conducted by Shiite and Sunni Muslims as they settle scores in the chaos that grips the Iraqi capital.

As many as 700 people have been killed in sectarian violence since the February 22 bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra and the subsequent series of car bombings and mortar attacks in the Sadr City slum on March 12.

Baghdadis voiced anger today when asked about their lives as the war entered its fourth year.

“Since US-led troops) came into Iraq, we get nothing,” said Ali Zeidan. “Three years have passed by for the Iraqi people and they are still suffering psychologically ... and economically.”
