17 Decomposing Bodies Found In Ramadi
Resurgence Of Violence: 17 Bodies Found Buried In Ramadi,
25 Dumped In Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Apr. 17, 2007

(AP) Police in Ramadi uncovered 17 decomposing corpses buried beneath
two schoolyards in a district that until recently was under the control
of al-Qaida fighters. At least 85 people were killed or found dead
across the country Tuesday.

The adult bodies were discovered in the Anbar provincial capital after
students and teachers returned to the schools a week ago and noticed
an increasingly putrid odor and stray dogs digging in the area, Police
Maj. Laith al-Dulaimi said.

In a sign that Shiite death squads are on the move again after more
than two months of quiescence, 25 bodies, most tortured, were found
dumped in Baghdad on Tuesday. The three-day total, after several
weeks of much smaller numbers, was 67. On Monday, radical Shiite
cleric Muqtada al-Sadr ordered his six Cabinet ministers to quit the
government.

2. 2.6 times more victims than the Virginia Tech shooting

Will the outrage and shock be 2.6 greater?
Doubt it.

Rest in peace, all victims here and there.

5. Wonder if the Chimp will lower the FLAG for them?

3. Usually AQ leaves bodies behind.

They enforce shari'a strictly, but seem to be very lax about rules of evidence. No need for the dead to actually have been their enemy.

The Taliban were the same, as are some Deobandi thugs in Pakistan, and the idiot Muslims in S. Thailand.

* RAMADI - Another 25 decomposed bodies were found in a school in Ramadi, 110 km (70 miles) west of Baghdad, police said. The latest discovery came a day after 17 bodies were found in a deserted school in Ramadi.
