13 Convicted Insurgents Are Executed in Iraq - Los Angeles Times

Iraqi authorities Thursday hanged 13 prisoners, including a woman, convicted of being insurgents, said an official who was present.

The executions, which were authorized by the Iraqi government, were the first to involve insurgents. It was the second time since Saddam Hussein’s ouster in 2003 that the death penalty was carried out.

Isn’t killing people who disagreed and faught against the government what Saddam Hussein is no trial for right now?
