IRAQ: KIDNAPPER OF FOREIGNERS SENTENCED TO DEATH

February 6, 2012: An Iraqi court has sentenced a man to death for murder and for kidnapping French citizens and an Iranian consul, a statement released by the Higher Judicial Council said.
The Central Criminal Court sentenced the man identified only by his initials SKh for "belonging to the so-called Islamic Army and carrying out kidnapping and killing operations, including kidnapping an Iranian consul and two French citizens," the statement said.
The death sentence can be appealed.
Two French journalists were kidnapped in 2004 south of Baghdad by the Islamic Army in Iraq, but were later released.
Also in 2004, Iran's mission in Baghdad said Fereydun Jahani, its consul in Karbala, disappeared after the Islamic Army said it had "detained" him for "stirring sectarian strife" and "activities outside his diplomatic duties."
Jahani was freed after 55 days.
The man was arrested in an army raid on Al-Yarmuk in west Baghdad, and admitted to being the Islamic Army's leader in the south of Baghdad province -- an area known as the Triangle of Death -- the statement said.
The man confessed to a judge to kidnapping two brothers as they travelled to the centre of Baghdad province and killing one of them, while the fate of the other is unknown, it said.
He also admitted to a number of operations including attacking Iraqi officials, kidnapping the French citizens, targeting and kidnapping the Iranian consul and taking part in the killing of an Iraqi army colonel, it said.
The Islamic Army in Iraq is a Sunni Salafist group that includes former army officers in the regime of executed dictator Saddam Hussein. The group first appeared in 2004, a year after the US-led invasion that toppled Saddam. (Sources: AFP, 06/02/2012)
