Gunmen wearing the uniform of Iraqi police commandos seized dozens of employees from the offices of a security company in eastern Baghdad on Wednesday, police sources said.
Two sources said about 50 people were taken. They said that the gunmen, who arrived in at least 10 vehicles, broke into the headquarters compound of the firm in the Zayouna district. One Interior Ministry source said he was unaware of any official police operation in the area.

Could this company have been a front for a militia?
Something fishy is going on, that's for sure.
24 people also found dead around the capitol according to Fox News. 18 of the bodies were in an abandoned minivan. The rest were scattered about Baghdad.
Maybe the UAE can hire them to work at DPW
