(…)"Mr Pace [UN official] said records, supported by photographs, came from Baghdad's forensic institute, which passed them to the UN. The Baghdad morgue has been receiving 700 or more bodies a month. The figures peaked at 1,100 last July - many showing signs of torture."

(…) "Some militias are integrated with the police and wear police uniforms," he said. "The Badr brigade [Sciri's armed wing] are in the police and are mainly the ones doing the killing. They're the most notorious." Jonathan Steele www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,,1721366,00.html 

The BRussells Tribunal recently received evidence of 2 such cases, where the Iraqi police was clearly involved in "Death Squad" activities.  Acting under the protection of the Ministry of Interior and the Industry Ministry, they are unscrupulous torturers and killers. We had doubts about publishing the story, because the pictures are very disturbing. But keeping Robert Fisks’ words in mind: "if the mainstream media would publish photos of the real war, as I’ve seen it, nobody would support this war", we decide to make these cases public.

They came with many cars, and some of these cars were from the Iraqi police (as his brother said). They arrested him and also broke all the doors of his house. After three days they found him in the morgue in Baghdad.
