BAGHDAD, July 25 — The Iraqi police found 18 unidentified corpses in Baghdad on Wednesday, according to an Interior Ministry official. They were apparently the latest victims in the country’s sectarian warfare.

Also on Wednesday, the American military announced that a soldier from the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), a logistics unit, died on Tuesday from “a non-battle-related cause.” The death brought to 61 the number of United States military personnel to die in Iraq in July, according to icasualties.org, an independent Web site.
