Fifty-Three Blindfolded Bodies Found in Iraq as Political Leaders Bicker
I’ve predicted that the reform of Islam will take place in this century - but in slow motion that incorporates a lot of battles and strife, just as the Christian reformation(s) took place across multiple centuries and amidst strifeful changes. The sectarian terror war in Iraq is part of that reformation continued.
Iraqi security forces found 53 corpses, blindfolded and handcuffed, south of Baghdad on Wednesday as Shi’ite and Kurdish leaders traded accusations over an Islamist insurgency raging in the country’s Sunni provinces.
Officials said dozens of bodies were discovered near the mainly Shi’ite Muslim village of Khamissiya, with bullets to the chest and head, the latest mass killing since Sunni insurgents swept through northern Iraq.
“Fifty-three unidentified corpses were found, all of them blindfolded and handcuffed,” Sadeq Madloul, governor of the mainly Shi’ite southern province of Babil, told reporters.
He said the victims appeared to have been killed overnight after being brought by car to an area near the main highway running from Baghdad to the southern provinces, about 25 km (15 miles) southeast of the city of Hilla.
