40 tortured bodies found in Baghdad AP via Yahoo! ^ \| September 28, 2006 \| AP news.yahoo.com The bodies of 40 men who were shot and had their hands and feet bound have been found in the capital over the past 24 hours, police said Thursday. All the victims showed signs of torture, police Lt. Thayer Mahmoud said. They were dumped in several neighborhoods in both eastern and western Baghdad, he said. The top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell, on Wednesday said murders and executions are currently the main cause of civilian deaths in Baghdad. Much of the violence has been attributed to death squads, many of which are thought to be offshoots of mainly Shiite militias. Also Thursday, two Iraqi soldiers were killed and 10 others were injured in suicide car bombing in part of Baghdad where American and Iraqi troops had just conducted a security sweep. The car slammed into a checkpoint in the northeastern neighborhood of Shaab, a neighborhood in northeastern Baghdad that had just been cleared by troops taking part in Operation Together Forward. In central Baghdad Thursday, a car bomb killed five people and wounded another 34 after it exploded near a restaurant, police said. The noon exploded at noon near Abu Tibeekh restaurant in Sadoun Street in central Baghdad. Although Ramadan began last week, some Iraqis — including Iraqi Christians — are not fasting. Many of the injured had serious burns and some were not expected to survive, police Lt. Ali Mohsen at the Kindi Hospital said. The top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell, says violence in the capital has spiked with the onset of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which officially began on Monday, and that suicide attacks were at their highest level ever. "This has been a tough week," he said. In other violence, a child was killed in the southern Baghdad neighborhood of Dora when a mortar shell landed on a house, police said. Seven policemen and three Iraqi Interior Ministry special forces were injured in three different bomb attacks in the capital. Southwest of Samarra, a city 60 miles north of Baghdad, an oil pipeline was blown up and caught fire, police said. The pipe connected refineries in Beiji and Baghdad.
