The bodies of as many as 49 soldiers with the new Iraqi army were discovered northeast of Baghdad late Saturday. The soldiers were ambushed by insurgents who executed them as they lay on the ground.

Senior officials with Iraq's Interior Ministry say the Iraqi soldiers were returning home on leave when they were intercepted by insurgents late Saturday.

Witnesses at the scene were quoted as saying the insurgents first attacked the Iraqi military convoy of minibuses with rocket propelled grenades.

The soldiers were then forced to lie on the ground and were then shot dead execution style. Interior Ministry officials say the bodies were discovered lined up in four rows with about 12 bodies in each row. The same officials say that because the soldiers were heading home on leave they were not armed.
