Iraqi court sentences Libyan terrorist to death
2006-12-16
An Iraqi court sentenced a Libyan member of al-Qaida in Iraq to death after he admitted taking part in eight attacks on U.S.-led coalition forces and Iraqi targets, the U.S. military said Saturday. The Central Criminal Court found the man guilty of terrorism and sentenced him to the death penalty on Dec. 6, the military said in a statement. The unidentified Libyan, who was captured during a raid, took part in attacks in which small arms, rocket-propelled grenades and missiles were used. Executions in Iraq are by hanging.

The court sentenced 15 other security detainees, mostly Iraqis, in the first week of December for weapons violations, illegal border crossing and other crimes. Three received prison sentences of 20 years. Two of the insurgents were from Saudia Arabia, and two were from Syria, the U.S. military said.

#2  Indeed. Just start hanging the foreign jihadis. Any government that does that will have instant popularity amongst the Iraqis.

#1  I wish the Iraqis would start sending a lot more of these swine to the gibbet. They could profitably have 10 hangings a day for a year, and it would do marvels to re-establish order.
