Targeted Killings Surge in Baghdad

Death Squads wreak havoc in Iraq. (Sounds familiar, eh?)

Targeted Killings Surge in Baghdad - Los Angeles Times:

"BAGHDAD: More Iraqi civilians were killed in Baghdad during the first three months of this year than at any time since the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, at least 3,800, many of them found hogtied and shot execution-style.

Others were strangled, electrocuted, stabbed, garroted or hanged. Some died in bombings. Many bore signs of torture such as bruises, drill holes, burn marks, gouged eyes or severed limbs."
