| Iraq Executes 18 despite International Outcry |
| 2013-03-28 |
| [An Nahar] Iraq executed 18 people this month, eight of them on the same day as an attack on the justice ministry, a top official said on Wednesday, despite global condemnation over its ongoing executions. They were the first confirmed executions this year, after Justice Minister Hassan al-Shammari insisted last week that Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... would continue to implement the death penalty in the face of widespread calls for it to issue a moratorium. |

| #1 "On Thursday (March 14), we executed eight, and then on Sunday (March 17), we executed 10," Yes, 18. I can confirm the math. |
