Police find 6 bullet-riddled bodies in Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Apr 23 (Reuters) Iraqi police found the bodies of six young men, bound and with bullet holes in their heads, today in Baghdad's violent Sunni district of Adhamiya, where sectarian tensions sparked fierce gun battles last week.

Interior Ministry sources said the bodies were dumped on the side of a road. Hundreds of bodies, many bearing signs of torture, have been found in Baghdad since sectarian passions exploded following the bombing of a Shi'ite shrine in February.
