Iraq has hanged three people convicted of involvement in a vehicle bombing in Baghdad that killed more than 300 people and injured hundreds in 2016.
It was the deadliest single bombing in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003.
The Islamic State group said it had carried out the attack.
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s office did not name those executed or say when they had been sentenced but the executions were carried out on Sunday and Monday.
A government source told AFP news agency that Ghazwan al-Zawbaee, held to be the IS mastermind behind the attack, was among those put to death. END
