Mystery headless corpse found in the Tigris

Thursday 15 July 2004, 22:11 Makka Time, 19:11 GMT

A headless corpse dressed in an orange jumpsuit has been found by Iraqi police in the Tigris river and handed over to US forces, but it has not yet been identified, a US military spokeswoman said.

She said it was not known whether the body was that of a Bulgarian hostage killed by his captors earlier this week.

The body was found near Baiji, 180 km north of Baghdad, on Wednesday night. "The body had been decapitated. It was dressed in an orange jumpsuit," the spokeswoman said on Thursday.

Video tapes of foreign captives in Iraq have often shown them wearing orange jumpsuits, which are typical of US jails and associated around the world with images of Muslims detained at Guantanamo Bay.

Hindrance

A diplomat at the Bulgarian embassy in Baghdad said he was aware that a body had been discovered, but it was not known whether it was one of the captured Bulgarians. The fact the body was headless hindered identification, he said.

In Sofia, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Solomon Passy said the government had asked for an urgent investigation to identify the body. "At this moment we do not have a confirmation whether it is one of our compatriots," he told Bulgarian television.

Kidnappers linked to al-Qaida ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said a week ago they had captured Bulgarian truck drivers Georgi Lazov, 30, and Ivailo Kepov, 32, and would kill them unless US-led forces released Iraqi prisoners.

Earlier this week Aljazeera television said it had received a video tape showing the decapitation of one of the Bulgarians.

The two Bulgarians were transporting cars to the city of Mosul when they disappeared on 27 June. Bulgaria said they were simple workers, not political people.

Bulgaria has held its ground on policy, saying its 470 troops in Iraq will stay as long as they are needed.

A deadline for the threatened execution of a second Bulgarian captive passed a second day without news.

Several foreigners are missing in Iraq, including a Filipino driver and an Egyptian.
