Six killed; 12 bodies found tortured in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Within the last 24 hours, insurgents in Iraq killed five people; a roadside bomb killed an American soldier; and 12 bodies, all shot in the head and bearing signs of torture, were found in Baghdad.

In one incident Saturday, a police officer and another man were kidnapped; they were later found shot to death, according to police. They had been abducted in the middle of the night from a house in al-Musayyib, about 37 miles (60 km) south of Baghdad. Three more police officers died in separate roadside bombings.

The killings and discovery of the corpses coincided with the release of a U.S. State Department report that found attacks against Iraqi civilians doubled in 2005. It stated that Iraq remains a key battleground -- and haven -- for global terrorist networks, as well as for homegrown insurgents and those trying to incite sectarian violence. (Full story)

The American soldier died around 4 p.m. southwest of Baghdad, according to the military. The death brings the number of U.S. troops and military civilian deaths in Iraq to 2,397.
