Gunmen also attacked an Iraqi army base in Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib neighborhood, killing two soldiers, and a roadside bomb exploded when a minibus was passing near Tarmiyah, north of the capital, killing another person, police said.
Iraq hanged at least 151 people in 2013, up from 129 in 2012 and 68 in 2011, New York-based Human Rights Watch said in its annual world report, which was published Tuesday.
The United Nations’ human rights chief, Navi Pillay, has frequently condemned Iraq’s mass executions. LINK
