Iraq finds bodies of 20 kidnapped bus drivers
2006-07-13
BAGHDAD - Iraqi security forces said they had found the bodies of 20 bus drivers who had been kidnapped north of Baghdad earlier on Wednesday. Police had put the number of bus drivers kidnapped in Miqdadiya, 100 km (60 miles) northeast of the capital at 12, but Major General Ahmed al-Awad said 20 bodies had been found after gunmen snatched a group of drivers from a station.

Awad told state television that security forces released three kidnap victims during a search operation. “The terrorists fled to a nearby village and we found 20 bodies. The bodies were those of the bus drivers,” he told Iraqiya.

#5  So far now news about corpses being kidnapped and beheaded, that is definitely the safest occupation in Iraq.

#4  Is there any occupation in Iraq that is considered off limits and safe?

Hmmm, I have not heard of any gravediggers being kidnapped and shot ... so perhaps ...

#3  From KUNA reports it looks like these were the bodies of most of the men abducted by (presumably) Shia terror squads at a bus stop (rather than drivers at a station), where all the men present were detained, had ID's inspected, and the Shia among them abducted, and later murdered.
