Four "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) elements have been sentenced to death by hanging for carrying out terror attacks targeting civilians in Syria and Iraq, Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council said Sunday (April 21st).

“The first circuit of al-Karkh Criminal Court heard the case of four men convicted of belonging to ISIS terrorist gangs and carrying out criminal operations targeting innocent civilians," the council said in a statement.

“The terrorists were tried by Iraqi courts after they were handed over by the Syrian Democratic Forces as wanted elements in Iraq,” the statement said.
