BAGHDAD, Iraq: 20 of the 80 abducted Iraqi mo'minin were found dead from restive town of Meqdadiyah, northeast of the capital Baghdad, while Indian Muslim leaders are blaming the US for fanning biases and creating rifts among Iraq's Shia-Sunni brethren.

"The people who are behind this fratricide in Iraq are those who ultimately want to destroy Islam and Muslims, those who want to defame the community," asserted Naib Imam Moulvi Mouzzam Ahmed of the Fatehpuri mosque in Old Delhi. "These things never happened in Iraq until the Americans came."

80 Iraqi mo'minin were kidnapped by terrorists from a bus station in Meqdadiyah on Wednesday, a leading MP Jalaleddin As-Saghir announced in parliament.

"The police appear to be complicit in this incident because they pulled out of the area right before the kidnapping," he added.

Major General Ahmed al-Awad, the commander of the Iraqi army's 5th Division, told government television that 20 bodies were later found. He said four people were rescued.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday 11 July night, husseiniyah At-Tahrir in Diyala was attacked by at least 200 armed terrorists. After attacking the husseiniyah they torched it completely.
