85 Bodies Found in Baghdad in Sectarian Strife.

The article focuses on sectarian violence in Iraq, reporting that the bodies of more than 85 executed men have surfaced across Baghdad in the past two days, in Sunni and Shiite neighborhoods. Many bore marks of torture, though it is unclear who is responsible. The wave of killings comes at a time as the U.S. looks to Iraq forces to stem the violence. Less than a month after an assault on a Shiite shrine nearly plunged the country into civil war, the violence continues. U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld hinted at a temporary increase in troop levels.
