Iraq executes 12 terrorists
Iraq has executed 12 convicted terrorists who
received final verdicts, said the office of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider
al-Abadi on Friday, in retaliation for the ISIS group's murder of eight
captives.
Upon directives from Abadi, 12 terrorists who have
received final verdicts were executed on Thursday night, the newspaper reported,
quoting a brief statement by the prime minister’s office as saying.
Earlier the bodies of eight captives held by Daesh were
found on a road north of the capital Baghdad.
On Thursday, Abadi ordered carrying out immediate
executions against terrorists who received final death sentences to achieve
justice.
The Iraqi military has kept up operations targeting
mostly remote desert areas where terrorists have continued to carry out
attacks.
