within Iraq's most violent province, police said.

Police said the bodies found near Muqdadiya in Diyala
province, all adult males, appeared to have been killed
recently. Twelve of them had been beheaded, the
other four shot in the head.

Diyala Province, an ethnically- and religiously-mixed
region north of Baghdad, has been the scene of the
worst violence in Iraq in recent months.
