Kurdish policeman found beheaded in Kirkuk
[Rudaw] A Kurdish policeman in Kirkuk was found beheaded on Sunday morning in what his family believe to be a "terror-related incident."

The body of Bahjat Anwar, a father-of-five and member of Kirkuk's police force was discovered in his vehicle in the city's Askari neighbourhood.

Anwar's son Hussein Bahjat said he was unable to reach his father on three of his mobile phones after he left to repair his car on Saturday afternoon.

A number of knife wounds was found on his body, his brother Awad Anwar told Rudaw, adding that he had money and phones on his person at the time.

"He appears to have defended himself because there are knife cuts on his hand. He defended himself. They broke his fingers," his brother recounted.

While no one has grabbed credit for the killing, Anwar believes that is "terror-related."

Local authorities have now launched an investigation into the incident.
