Baghdad bloodbath continues

Iraq better without Sadam? You decide:


THE bound bodies of dozens more torture victims were found in Baghdad fuelling anarchic sectarian anger that a United States general said could lead to Iraqi civil war.

In all, police retrieved 50 bodies in the 24 hours to yesterday morning, most shot in the head after being trussed and tortured, according to a senior interior ministry official. This took the body count in the city to at least 130 over a three-day period.

The US military acknowledged a "spike" in the death rate this week, despite a month-long security crackdown in the capital for which Washington had sent in thousands of extra troops.

Seven US soldiers died on Thursday, five around Baghdad, including three in a suicide car bombing that also wounded 30 Americans.
