    BAGHDAD, Nov. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Nine bodies of
Iraqi soldiers were found Saturday morning in the
northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the US military said.

    "Soldiers from 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division
discovered on Saturday in central Mosul the bodies of
nine Iraqi regular army soldiers," the US military
said.

    The bodies, each of them with a gunshot in the
back of the head, were found a mile west of the Tigris
River, after the US military was tipped off by an
Iraqi National Guardsman. 

    The bodies have been retrieved by Iraqi National
Guardsmen covered by US war planes and carried to the
city morgue, the military said, adding the victims
appeared to have been on their way back to barracks
when they were executed. 

    Violence has flared up in Mosul, the third largest
Iraqi city some 400 km north of Baghdad, since
insurgents overran several police stations earlier
this month.

    However, the city authorities claimed that order
and calmness have been restored after Iraqi National
Guardsmen reinforcement was dispatched.

    Strife in Mosul erupted after US-Iraqi forces
wrapped up a full-scale military assault on another
flashpoint city of Fallujah, which also touched off
widespread violence across the Sunni Muslim heartland
in the country.
