BAGHDAD: Police found 69 bullet-riddled corpses scattered in and around Baghdad on Wednesday of men killed in apparent sectarian attacks as two car bombs left 28 people dead.

In the past 24 hours, 64 bodies were recovered from across Baghdad, with most of the victims shot dead execution-style with a bullet to the head, a pattern usually seen in the ongoing Shiite-Sunni sectarian killings, security officials said.

Three bodies were found in the restive city of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, and two in the town of Suweira, south of the capital.

One of the two bodies recovered from Suweira was headless, while dozens of those found in Baghdad were handcuffed and blindfolded.

A security official said most of the bodies found in Baghdad were discovered in the city's Sunni and Shiite populated west, which includes the violent districts and neighbourhoods such as Mansur, Ameriyah and Yarmuk.

Death squads from the two rival communities have brutally gunned down civilians on a daily basis in the raging sectarian conflict that has engulfed Baghdad since the February bombing of a revered Shiite shrine.
