Iraq sentences 11 to death for government bombings

None

An Iraqi court Thursday sentenced 11 people to death by hanging after convicting them of carrying out the August bombings of two government ministries that killed more than 100 people in the heart of Baghdad.

 

The attacks - the deadliest to that point in over a year and a half - raised questions about the ability of Iraqi forces to protect the country. (AP)
