Iraq hangs three convicted of ‘terrorism’
On Monday three Iraqis convicted of “terrorism” were hanged, a security source said, days after a deadly double suicide attack in a crowded Baghdad marketplace killed over 30 people.
The reported hangings came after rights groups warned Iraq may authorize a spree of such executions in a show of strength following the bombings on Thursday, which were claimed by the Daesh group.
“Three people convicted under Article 4 of the anti-terror law were executed on Monday at the Nasiriyah central prison,”
