(SomaliNet) Police on Monday found 14 corpses of men tortured and killed execution-style on the southern outskirts of Baghdad, a security source said.

The corpses were found at a place called Tuwairegh and were lying next to each other, he said. Dozens of tortured, bullet-riddled corpses are found every week in Baghdad of men killed in apparent sectarian attacks.

Insurgents killed two more US servicemen in Iraq, including a marine who was killed in the restive Al-Anbar province, the military said.

The marine was killed Sunday. Another soldier from the 89th Military Police Brigade died after wounds sustained when his vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb in southeastern Baghdad on Saturday.
