    Iraq Executions 2011

    BAGHDAD (Xinhua) -- The Iraqi Ministry of Justice announced that 11 prisoners were executed on Thursday for charges of terrorism, including a Tunisian national accused of bombing Shiite Shrine of Samarra that sparked sectarian strife in 2006, Iraqi official television reported.

    "Eleven prisoners were executed in the early morning, including a woman and Yusri Fakhir the Tunisian national who was convicted for bombing the Askari shrine (in Samarra)," the state-run channel of Iraqia quoted a ministry spokesman as saying.

    Fakhir is an al-Qaida group member who earlier was sentenced to death penalty over his role in bombing the golden dome of al- Askari shrine in Samarra, which contains the tombs of Ali al-Hadi and Hassan al-Askari, the 10th and 11th of the Shiite's 12 most revered Imams.

    The Qaida's attack against the shrine on Feb. 22, 2006, sparked reprisal killings between the Shiite and Sunni Muslim communities across Iraq, which led to the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in the aftermath sectarian strife in 2006 and 2007.

    Iraq executes 12 Sunni militants over 2006 wedding massacre, official says

    Iraqi officials say 12 convicted al-Qaida members have been executed for their role in the 2006 massacre of 70 people at a wedding party in the central Iraqi town of Dujail.

    Iraqi Deputy Justice Minister Busho Ibrahim said that the executions took place on Thursday.

    An Iraqi court had sentenced 15 people to death in June over the killings in the predominantly Shiite town, in the latest in a series of trials of alleged perpetrators of atrocities during the height of Iraq’s Sunni insurgency.

    Ibrahim says that three of the convicted were spared from execution because they are still being tried in other cases.

    Dujail is located 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Baghdad and is surrounded by Sunni areas.
