Iraqi police find 10 bodies in Baghdad

The Iraqi police patrols found 10 unidentified bodies in different neighborhoods in Baghdad on Sunday,an Interior Ministry source said.

"Our patrols found seven bodies in Karkh area, the western side of Baghdad, and three others in Rasafah area, the eastern side of the capital since today's morning," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

The bullet-riddled bodies were bound, blindfolded, showing signs of torture, he said.

On Saturday, up to 17 bodies in execution-style were found in Baghdad, the source added.

The almost daily gruesome body findings, assassinations and explosions in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities were seen as a major setback for the Iraqi government's efforts to stem violence and achieve national reconciliation.

UN and Iraqi officials estimate that more than 100 Iraqis are killed everyday in insurgent attacks and sectarian fighting.
