Baghdad - Police discovered 14 bodies showing signs of torture in Baghdad on Thursday, an interior ministry source said.
The corpses were blindfolded, with hands tied behind their backs, he said.
Some of the victims had been beheaded or repeatedly stabbed, said the source.
Many bodies showing signs of abuse have been found in Iraq in recent months as sectarian tensions have risen against the backdrop of a Sunni Arab insurgency that has killed thousands of people.
