Baghdad - Iraqi security forces have recovered 34 more bodies dumped across the war-torn country, bringing to more than 180 the number of people believed killed in a wave of sectarian murders in the past five days, a security official said on Sunday.

Thirty-two of the bodies were found in Baghdad, while two were recovered from the town of Suweira, downstream of the Iraqi capital, the official said, asking not to be identified.

Most of the victims had been shot dead.

Since Tuesday, security forces have recovered more than 180 bodies, mostly from Baghdad and most of them killed execution-style, according to officials.

The Iraqi capital is the epicentre of a conflict between the newly empowered Shi'ite majority and the ousted Sunni Arab elite that has left thousands dead since February.
