BAGHDAD, Feb 13 (AFP) - The tortured bodies of three Iraqis have been discovered in eastern Baghdad, police said Sunday, adding they could be those of policemen or soldiers.

"The three victims had civilian clothes, were blindfolded and had their hands tied with wire," a police officer said.

He said the victims, who were not imediately identified, had not been shot but probably tortured to death.

On Saturday, 14 bodies were discovered in and around the northern city of Mosul

3. I wonder where they got the idea that torture could be a great tool?
Why the geneva convention was invented - to teach humans & nations to be unwarlike.

Thanks to the USA for turning back the clock.
