“Nine people were found dead in two brutal incidents in Iraq Sunday — one where militants forced Shiite policemen to pray before killing them, and another where decapitated heads were left in a market. The violence is among the most shocking in Iraq’s worst prolonged period of unrest since it emerged in 2008 from a Sunni-Shiite sectarian war, and comes with security forces also battling antigovernment fighters in western Anbar province.”
