Posted: 12:06 PM ET

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) - Authorities in Iraq said 21 decomposed bodies were found buried Wednesday at an Anbar province school, and family members have identified some of them as people who were kidnapped two years ago by al Qaeda in Iraq militants.

An Iraqi Interior Ministry official told CNN the bodies were found in the Adala neighborhood of central Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province west of Baghdad.

Laborers working at a school under construction found the corpses, and Iraqi security forces transferred them to a local morgue.
