Terrorist Sentenced to Death in Iraq

(Baghdad, Iraq) An Iraqi court found a terrorist guilty and sentenced him to death for killing Americans.

The Central Criminal Court of Iraq unanimously charged Ibrahim Karim Mohammed Saleh al-Qaraghuli with "acts of terrorism in the murder of three American military personnel in June 2006", the statement said.

It said two other Iraqi accomplices in the crime were found not guilty and charges against them were dismissed.

Specialist David Babineau, Private First Class Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Tucker, from the 101st Airborne Division, were killed in the town of Yusifiya on June 16, 2006.

They died "as a result of a terrorist attack and abduction carried out by insurgents on June 16, 2006," the military said.

The trial of Qaraghuli lasted for 30 days and was held at Baghdad's newly built court in Rusafa district.

Good.
