Iraq executed three individuals, charged with being involved in a vehicle bombing that killed over 300 people and injured hundreds in Baghdad seven years ago.

In 2016, a bomb planted in a car shook Baghdad as citizens were enjoying their evening roaming a shopping center in Karada during the Holy month of Ramadan. It marked the most devastating single bombing in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion.

At the time, ISIS claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack. Then-Interior Minister Mohammed Ghabban stepped down following the massacre.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani said that the executions were carried out on Monday or Sunday, without revealing the identities of those executed.

Citing a government source, AFP reported that the mastermind behind the bombing, Ghazwan al-Zawbaee, who was detained and transferred to Iraq in 2021, was among the three people. 

Their families were informed that "the rightful punishment of death sentence" had been carried out against "three key criminals found guilty of their involvement in the terrorist bombing," Al-Sudani's office said.

ISIS proclaimed its caliphate back in 2014 across Syria and Iraq. The so-called caliphate was ultimately defeated through the joint efforts of regional resistance groups; however, the terrorist organization maintains cells in both Syria and Iraq.

On August 11, 2016, former US President Donald Trump said the United States (in particular, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Obama) was the creator of the terrorist organization.

One of the most horrifying massacres committed by the terrorist group was in 2014, when 2,000 military students were mass-murdered at the Speicher Military Air Force Academy in Iraq's Tikrit, in what can only be described as a bloodbath.
