BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's Interior Ministry has launched an investigation into claims a police death squad has been operating in Iraq, a top official said Thursday.

The probe was launched as police found the bodies of 10 more men who had been shot dead execution-style and dumped in three different areas of Baghdad's predominantly Shiite suburb of Shula.

Maj. Gen. Hussein Kamal, Iraq's deputy interior minister in charge of domestic intelligence, said the probe was launched following U.S. military claims that soldiers had detained 22 men wearing police uniforms who were about to kill a Sunni Arab man.

`"Sunni Arabs, who were once prominent under Saddam, claim Shiites have been killing and kidnapping Sunnis in a campaign of retribution. Sunni Arabs, however, form the backbone of Iraq's raging insurgency. Militant leaders like Abu Musab al-Zarqawi have called for Shiites to be targeted in a bid to start a civil war. "
