The bodies of 14 construction workers, their throats slit and their hands
and legs bound, were found in a rural area near Baghdad, police said on
Friday.
Police said the laborers, among 17 workers who had been kidnapped after
leaving their work on Thursday, were discovered in an orchard near Dhuluiya,
40 km (25 miles) north of Baghdad, a town in central Sunni Muslim Salahedin
province.
A police source said most of the victims were from the mainly Shi'ite town
of Balad, north of Baghdad. They had been snatched from their vehicle at
dawn and killed by unidentified gunmen, police said.
The motive was not clear but Iraq has been gripped by sectarian killings
pitching Shi'ites against Sunni Arabs since the bombing of a Shi'ite shrine
in Samarra in February.
Police imposed a daylight curfew in Dhuluiya.
