(Voices of Iraq) - Babel police said two more bodies believed to be of the kidnapped U.S. soldiers were found on Wednesday near a bank of the River Euphrates in al-Masayeb area. “Babel police patrols today found two bodies believed to be from the two kidnapped U.S. soldiers near the Euphrates bank in al-Masyeb area,” the source, who asked not to be named, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
He added, “the bodies bore marks of torture with their heads smashed. They wore the U.S. military-style uniform.” The source said “the two bodies were handed over to the U.S. forces at the location where they were found.” U.S. forces immediately cordoned off the area, he also said.
No word has been heard so far from the U.S. army on the incident. Earlier on Wednesday, Babel police found a body believed to of a kidnapped U.S. soldier. Last week, a U.S. vehicle patrol was attacked just south of Baghdad where six soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter were killed and the three service members were kidnapped.
