Corpses of 2 Nukheib victims found in Anbar

ANBAR / IraqiNews.com: Two corpses from Anbar Border Guards, part of the over 20 men killed by terrorists in their attack on a passenger bus in its Nukheib township last Monday, were found by Anbar Police forces on Saturday, a police source reported.   “Anbar Army’s Security Forces have discovered the corpses of 2 Anbar Border forces, that were shot dead together with 22 other men, who had been among 40 passengers of a bus coming from Syria to Iraq last Monday,” the police source told IraqiNews.com news agency.   “The terrorists, who killed all the men on bus, after forcing the women and children out of the bus, attempted to bury the 2 corpses under the sand. Strong winds pushed the sand away, allowing the police forces to discover their bodies,” he said.   “The location of the 2 bodies was about 1 km away from the venue of the Nukheib massacre. Investigations show that one of them was from Anbar’s Amiriyat al-Falluja township and the other from Karbala’s Ain-Tamur area, thus raising the total number of victims to 24, 5 of them from Falluja and the others from Karbala,” he stressed.   He said that the investigation had shown that the number of Border Forces who were killed among the bus’s 24 victims, had been 9, including 5 from Falluja and 4 from Karbala.   Ramadi, the center of Anbar Province, is 110 km to the west of Baghdad.
