Iraq: 14 men abducted by gunmen in uniform killed
BAGHDAD (AP) — Authorities in Iraq say police have found the corpses of 14 Sunni men abducted from a town near the capital, Baghdad, by gunmen in military uniforms.
Police officers found the corpses Thursday afternoon in an orchard near the Sunni-dominated town of Mishahda. Officials say the corpses were shot in different parts of the body.
Mishahda is about 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of Baghdad.
Authorities say gunmen wearing military uniforms kidnapped the men from a funeral Wednesday night. Police say men from the same family are among the dead.
Medical officials confirmed receiving the bodies. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to journalists.
