A court in Baghdad sentenced Sunday two French citizens to death for being members of the Islamic State group including one who last week said he was subjected to torture while in detention, an Iraqi judicial official said. The judicial official said the court sentenced to death Fadil Hamad Abdallah, 33, of Moroccan origin and Vianney Jamal Abdelqader, 29. The new sentences raise the number of French citizens given death sentences over the past two weeks to nine. An Iraqi intelligence official told The Associated Press that the SDF handed over to Syria 1,142 Iraqi IS members, of which 157 were sentenced to death.
