BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A headless corpse dressed in an orange jumpsuit has been found by Iraqi police in the Tigris River and handed over to U.S. forces, but it has not yet been identified, a U.S. military spokeswoman said Thursday.

She said it was not known whether the body was that of a Bulgarian hostage killed by his captors earlier this week. A deadline for the threatened execution of a second Bulgarian hostage passed last night without news.

The body was found near Baiji, 112 miles north of Baghdad, Wednesday night.

"The body had been decapitated. It was dressed in an orange jumpsuit," the spokeswoman said.

1. Interesting that they turn it over to the USA

After all, Iraq is a "sovereign" nation, right? Since there are Bulgarians, Turks, Filipinos, and others still out there unaccounted for, why would they turn headless corpses in orange jumpsuits over to the US? Just wonderin'.....
