Iraqi baby found alive inside cloak of dead woman

An Iraqi baby boy was found alive on Saturday inside the cloak of either his mother or aunt after both women had been shot dead execution style in northern Iraq, a local police official said.
Colonel Ali Mahmoud, who said the baby was in good health, explained that the infant and the bodies of the two women had been found by villagers in Alton Kobri, outside the northern city of Kirkuk.
The two sisters had been abducted hours earlier following a dispute between two neighbouring families and were shot in the head. When the bodies of the two women were identified, the baby was reunited with his father. It was unclear why it could not be said whether the baby, said to be a few months old, was with his mother or his aunt.
