BAGHDAD (AFP) – Iraqi police have found 36 bullet-riddled bodies of men shot dead in apparent sectarian killings as lawmakers convened the first working session of parliament since it was elected in December.

An interior ministry official said 14 bodies were found in eastern Baghdad Wednesday, while 20 other corpses were recovered from various areas in the capital late Tuesday.

Two more bodies were found in the town of Al-Mussayib, 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Baghdad.

Hundreds of such bullet-riddled bodies, the result of tit-for-tat sectarian killings, have been found across the country, mostly in Baghdad, since the bombing of a revered Shiite shrine in February.
