    Iraq executes 7 Arab men on terrorism convictions

    BAGHDAD, Iraq - At least seven men of different Arab nationalities were hanged Wednesday in Iraq on charges of links to al-Qaeda and convictions for terrorist crimes, officials said.

    "The death penalty has been carried out against seven terrorists holding various Arab nationalities after the completion of their legal procedures,” read a statement by the Iraqi ministry of justice.

    The seven were captured at least four years ago and found guilty of terrorist activities with al-Qaeda in Iraq.

    "The blood of the martyrs will not go unpunished," Haidar al-Zamili, Iraq’s justice minister, said in the statement.

    The executed were from Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. They were all hanged at the Nasiriyah prison in southern Iraq, said a local official from Dhiqar province, also in southern Iraq.

    In June, the Iraqi Justice Ministry announced that in the first half of this year, it carried out 45 executions.

    Another 36 were hanged for their involvement in a massacre at the Speicher military base, where ISIS killed 1,700 Shiite cadets. The cadets were killed after ISIS took over large swathes of Iraq and seized Mosul, starting in June 2014.

    ISIS kills hundreds in Mosul area

    ISIS rounded up and killed 284 men and boys as Iraqi-led coalition forces closed in on Mosul, the terror group's last major stronghold in Iraq, an Iraqi intelligence source told CNN.

    Those killed Thursday and Friday were used as human shields against attacks forcing ISIS out of southern parts of Mosul, the source said.

    ISIS dumped the corpses in a mass grave at the defunct College of Agriculture in northern Mosul, the intelligence source said.

    The victims -- some of them children -- were all shot

    ISIS 'executes' 232 near Mosul

    ISIS has "executed" 232 people near the Iraqi city of Mosul and taken tens of thousands of people to use as human shields against advancing Iraqi forces, the United Nations says.

    The terror group carried out the mass killings Wednesday, punishing people who had defied its orders, a spokeswoman for the UN human rights arm told CNN.

    "ISIS executed 42 civilians in Hammam al-Alil, south of Mosul. Also on Wednesday ISIS executed 190 former Iraqi security forces for refusing to join them, in the Al Ghazlani base near Mosul," said Ravina Shamdasani of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

    Another 24 former Iraqi security forces officers were reportedly killed Tuesday, the office said

    Mass grave containing 100 bodies found in town south of Mosul, Iraq says

    Irbil, Iraq (CNN) — A mass grave containing the remains of about 100 beheaded civilians has been discovered inside a school in a town south of Mosul, Iraq's military said in a statement Monday.

    The mass grave was found by Iraqi forces in the School of Agriculture on the outskirts of Hammam al-Alil, a town that was recaptured from ISIS on Monday, Iraq's Joint Military Command said.

    "Gangs of ISIS militants continue to commit crimes against our people," the statement said.

    Special teams are being sent to the site to investigate the killings, the statement said. Beheadings and mass graves have become a hallmark of the Sunni terror group.

    Iraq's federal police forces and army troops attacked the ISIS-held town of Hammam al-Alil -- about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) south of Mosul, and the last significant settlement on the Tigris River before Mosul -- on Saturday.
