| 2007-12-14 |
| (KUNA) -- A mass grave of armed victims was found on Thursday in Diyala Province east of the Iraqi capital. A security official, in remarks to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), charged that 18 corpses were killed by the militias of the so-called Iraq Islamic state -- 12 of whom were headless -- noting that all the victims were males who were kidnapped and assassinated two months ago. He said most of the dead bodies were featureless and were admitted to Al- Miqdadiyah Hospital. Al- Miqdadiyah neighborhood which is a part of the troubled Diyala Province is witnessing fragile security. Diyala Province, with a community blended with Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds, is currently witnessing military operations against the insurgents. |

| #8 Still trying to wrap my head around the process of 'admitting the dead bodies to the...hospital;' wonder how that gets done without any patient- staff interaction?? "He's really dead, and headless, Jim" |

| #4 From CY's comments: I'd like to see a tally of fake deaths in Iraq. We might even reach a grim milestone. |

| #3 It seems then that this is one of many false massacres. Why report such a thing? Testing to see if coalition forces respond to tips? Trying to bait coalition forces into a trap? Trying to discredit coalition security efforts? Other? |
