HOLY CITY OF NAJAF, Iraq: As dead bodies of more than 150 laborers, martyred in Kazemiyah and Baghdad bombings, reached holy city of Najaf for burial, corpse of abducted Dr. Ayatullah Sheikh Mehdi Al-Attar has been found from a pit in Al-Latifiyah, a stronghold of terrorists.

According to Al-Najaf News reports on Thursday the Ayatullah was kidnapped along with his brother Alhaj Abbas Ali Akbar Al-Attar and two of his aides while they were on their way to the holy city of Najaf that houses holy shrine of Master of Believers Al-Imam Ali bin Abi Taleb (p).

His brother and two aides were also found dead.

Ayatullah Al-Attar, one of Holy Najaf Hauzah scholars and a leader of Hezb Ad-Dawah party of Prime Minister Ibrahim Al-Jafari, spent all his life in serving Islam.

A security source told that signs of torture and cuts of knife were also visible on the body of the late Ayatullah. He said that signs tell as if the late Ayatullah resisted to the terrorists and as a result of it a bullet tore his hand.
