Iraq to Hang 14 ISIS Terrorists involved in Massacre of 1700 Soldiers

Fourteen terrorists of ISIS were found guilty of the massacre of around 1,700 soldiers during the take over of Tikrit by the terrorist outfit. They were sentenced to death by a court in Iraq. This mass killing of Iraqi soldiers is also known as Speicher massacre.

In a statement, the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council said, “The Central Criminal Court issued a verdict to execute the 14 terrorist criminals after establishing that they were involved in the Speicher massacre.”

In June 2014, armed terrorists of the Sunni faith led by an ISIS group captured a large part of Iraq’s northern and western territories. As per reports, around 1,700 soldiers of an air base named Camp Speicher in the north of Tikrit, were abducted and killed by the terrorists.

These terrorists had also uploaded videos and photos showing armed militants loading dozens of soldiers onto trucks, who were later forced to lie face down. Then the inhuman terrorists fired at them. Some of these Iraqi soldiers were dragged to the banks of the Tigris River, where they were shot in the head and thrown into the water.
