Police find 51 bodies in Baghdad; Chalabi security officer killed
BAGHDAD (CNN) -- Fifty-one bullet-riddled bodies were collected across the Iraqi capital Sunday, victims of what an official with Iraq's Interior Ministry said was sectarian retribution between Sunnis and Shiites.

The official also said gunmen killed Iraqi Army Colonel Yaarub Khazaal, who worked on the security detail for Ahmed Chalabi. The killing happened Sunday in western Baghdad's Yarmouk neighborhood, the official said.

Chalabi is a former Iraqi exile who was instrumental in building the U.S. case during the lead-up to the war, and who later fell out of favor with the Bush administration
