BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen in police uniforms abducted up to 50 employees
of various Baghdad transport companies on Monday, police and Interior
Ministry sources said.

They said the gunmen carried out what appeared to be a coordinated operation
along a Baghdad street that is home to several companies offering transport
to Syria and Jordan.

No other details were immediately available.

1. Nope, not a civil war. Nope. These people are just playing

Hide-and-Seek. But the twist is when you find them, they're missing their heads. Or their heads have a bullet in them.

The other twist is that this game is compulsory. They may not want to play, but they have no choice.

2. Or their heads and faces have holes drilled in them

This is perhaps the best feature of liberated Iraq. A brand new form of horror.
