Up to 25 people have been killed after a group of men dressed in Iraqi army uniforms stormed five houses in a village just south of the capital Baghdad, Iraqi authorities have said.
The attack took place in a Sunni enclave called Albusaifi in the southern part of Baghdad province in the early hours of Saturday.
"Men wearing uniforms and driving vehicles similar to those used by the army stormed ... houses in the village of Sufiya ... and killed 25 people, including five women," an interior ministry official said.
The victims were handcuffed and shot in the head, police said.
Later reports quoting police said that some of the victims had suffered broken arms and legs, indicating they had been tortured before they were shot.
One witness said many of the victims were so badly brutalized that they were "beyond recognition".
Awakening Councils
Major General Qassim al-Moussawi, a Baghdad security spokesman, said some of the victims were members of the Iraqi security forces and others of the Awakening Councils.
He said authorities had arrested 25 people and sealed off the area to conduct a search for other suspects.
Seven people were left alive with their hands tied behind their backs after the attack, he said.
