Faik Bakir, the director of the Baghdad morgue, has fled Iraq in fear of his
life after reporting that more than 7,000 people have been killed by death
squads in recent months, the outgoing head of the UN human rights office in Iraq
has disclosed.

Don't forget, the insurgents want publicity, they want their killings to be as public as possible. These death squads are Shia and run by the Interior Ministry. This all began, as was widely predicted (in the real world), when John Negroponte went to Iraq to employ the same successful death squad techniques he oversaw in Latin America.
