13 Iraqis Taken, 11 Killed Near Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Gunmen dressed in Iraqi army uniforms swept into a village south of Baghdad early Friday, kidnapping 13 civilians and killing at least 11 of them, police said.

The attack occurred around 5 a.m. local time in Imam village, a predominantly Shiite town about 50 miles south of the Iraqi capital.

About two hours after the abduction, police found eleven bodies with gunshot wounds to the head and chest, and they were believed to be those who had been kidnapped, police and the Iraqi army said.

An Iraqi army spokesman acknowledged that the gunmen wore Iraqi army uniforms and drove military vehicles, but said they were not government soldiers.

1. Just as I predicted...

every day we're going to be treated to Viet Nam style "body counts" to PROVE that Dumbya's "surge" is working. The press has been given their marching orders to get behind this. So we can look forward to more and more body counts and stories about the positive effects of Bush's brave new plan to "win" in Iraq. :eyes:
