BAGHDAD – Iraqi police found the bodies of 14 policemen today, all shot in the head, and an Al Qaeda-linked group said it had killed them to avenge the alleged rape of a woman last month.
Police said the bodies were discovered close to Baquba, the provincial capital of Diyala province, not far from where the men disappeared on Thursday.
A group called the Islamic State in Iraq said in an Internet statement it had kidnapped 18 men working for the Shi'ite-dominated Interior Ministry following "the rape of our sister ... Sabreen Janabi".
The group later said it had killed them all after the government ignored demands it made for their release.
Janabi has said she was raped by officers from the Shi'ite-dominated police force. The government says medical records show she was not raped.
They appear to be "standing up" quite well. This has all worked out just superbly.
