Iraq to hang 14 people for brutal ISIS massacre which saw close to 2,000 killed

Iraq has sentenced 14 people to death by hanging for their role in the brutal ISIS massacre which saw close to 2,000 people killed.

The massacre was one of the worst committed by the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and saw the extremists abduct mainly Shiite cadets from the Speicher military base, who were receiving a military course, and execute them.

While there is still no official number of casualties, ISIS itself put the number of men it killed there at 1,700 and others say it could have been up to 3,000.
