Mortar rounds struck a northern Baghdad neighborhood on Monday, killing four people and wounding eight others, while the Iraqi police collected 25 corpses in the capital during the day, an Interior Ministry source said.
"Several mortar rounds landed on the Husseiniyah neighborhood in the evening, killing four people and wounding eight others," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The attack also damages several houses, the source said.
In addition, the Iraqi police patrols picked up 25 unidentified bodies from Baghdad's streets during the past 24 hours, the source added.
The bullet-riddled bodies were bound, blindfolded, showing signs of torture, he said.
Violence and gruesome finding of unidentified bodies continued in the capital despite five months of U.S. and Iraqi security plan aiming at putting rampant violence under control.
