Iraq executes three men on terror charges: security sources
2021-12-15
[Rudaw] Iraq hanged three men in Nasiriyah city on Tuesday for terror offences, two security sources told AFP, with an international rights group saying executions do not bring justice to the victims of crimes committed by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (ISIS).

The sources told AFP on Tuesday that one of the men was accused of being involved in a boom-mobileing in the city in summer 2013, and another was guilty of taking part in a similar attack in Karbala province.

ISIS controlled swathes of Iraqi territory in 2014 but the group was territorially defeated three years later. Iraqi security forces have made a large number of arrests since then, executing some.

According to Amnesia Amnesty International, 100 people were executed in 2019 but the number dropped to 45 in 2020.

Iraq executed six people, including three for terror charges, in late August, and executed three others in late January.

#1  They won't be terrorizing anyone anymore. Their "future victims" are good with that.
