BAIJI, Iraq (Reuters) - Three decapitated bodies were found north of Baghdad on Wednesday and are believed to be the corpses of foreigners, Iraqi security forces said.

The U.S. military said initial indications were that the dead men were Arabs.

But police said two of the bodies had tattoos written in the Roman alphabet -- one saying "HECER," and the other a letter H. The third body had tattoos written in Arabic script but the words were not Arabic.

Police said the heads of the men had been strapped to the backs of the bodies, which were dumped in nylon bags.
