Iraqi police find bodies of 15 executed men
Source: Reuters

BAGHDAD, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Iraqi police said on Thursday they had found the bodies of 15 men, including 10 soldiers, who had been blindfolded and shot execution-style in the head.

The bodies were found in ditches in Diyala province close to the city of Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) north of Baghdad.

Police said 10 of the bodies were those of soldiers in uniform. They appeared to have been killed about a week ago.

Attacks across Iraq have fallen by 60 percent since June, but ethnically mixed Diyala remains a headache for the U.S. and Iraqi forces.

It is one of four provinces where they have launched offensives to root out al Qaeda militants, who have regrouped north of Baghdad after being ousted from former strongholds to the west and around the capital.
