Iraq Executes 11

Iraqi authorities on Monday executed by hanging 11 people convicted of "terrorism", security and health sources told AFP, the second such group put to death since late April.

Iraqi authorities have executed at least 11 people convicted of "terrorism" this week, security and health sources said Wednesday, with rights group Amnesty International condemning an "alarming lack of transparency".

Iraq hanged 11 people convicted of terrorist offences on Thursday, the justice ministry said, pursuing what a UN official has criticised as a "conveyor-belt of executions".

Iraqi authorities executed 11 more people on Sunday, 10 Iraqis and one Algerian despite widespread international calls for a moratorium on Baghdad's use of the death penalty.
