FALLUJA, Iraq, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Police said on Tuesday they had
found the bodies of 20 people dumped in two separate locations in
an area of western Iraq well-known for insurgency violence.
Eleven men in civilian clothes were found on Monday dumped next to
the main highway that links Baghdad to the border with Jordan in
Iraq's west, police said.
The bodies were found near the town of Rutba, 370 km (230 miles) west
of Baghdad, in the mainly Sunni Arab desert province of Anbar. The
bodies all had their hands tied and the men appeared to have been
killed three days ago.
