Baghdad - Iraqi police on Tuesday found the bodies of 11 people who had apparently been tortured and shot before being dumped near a school in southern Baghdad, an official said.

Police 1st Lieutenant Mutaz Salahiddin said the bullet-riddled corpses, with their hands and legs bound, were found in the Shi'ite dominated Maalif neighbourhood in southern Baghdad.

The 11 unidentified people apparently were victims of the sectarian violence between Shi'ites and Sunnis sweeping Iraq, especially Baghdad.

Kidnappings of people of one sect by militias of the other sect have become common in the tit-for-tat cycle of violence that started after a February 22 bombing of a Shi'ite mosque in Samarra.
