Iraq hangs three for 2016 Baghdad IS blast: PM's office Baghdad, Aug 28 (AFP) Aug 28, 2023 Iraq has hanged three people convicted for a 2016 Baghdad bombing, claimed by the Islamic State group, which killed more than 320 people, the prime minister's office said on Monday. The bombing was one of the world's deadliest after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. The car bombing sparked raging fires in Baghdad's Karrada shopping area early on July 3, 2016 as it teemed with people ahead of the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, during a meeting with victims' families, informed them "the rightful punishment of death sentence was carried out against three key criminals found guilty of their involvement in the terrorist bombing", his office said in a statement. |
