Execution-Style Killings In Iraq Raise Fears Of Return To Sectarian Violence -- New York Times
BAGHDAD — A family of five killed in their home. A group of men shot dead in a field. Eight bodies, tied up in cable, discovered on a farm, each with a bullet in the head.
More than 300 Iraqis have been killed this month in bombings and shootings in markets, along roadsides, near schools and mosques, and in bakeries.
