Horrific pictures displaying dead bodies of some of the 25 women murdered in Baghdad brothel raid have emerged, showing gunmen in camouflage with weapons fitted with silencers.

The policemen, who rushed to the crime scene following a tip off, entered the building to find blood streaming down the stairs and over two dozens of dead bodies in a number of rooms lying in pools of blood. An inscription on the wall of one the rooms at the crime scene read: "This is the fate of prostitution".
Although no group has claimed responsibility for the murders, many believe that the killings were the made by Shiite militants, who detest prostitution.
