Jihadis execute Kurdish judge who ordered Saddam Husseins hanging

The Islamic fundamentalist group ISIS have captured and killed the judge who ordered death-by-hanging verdict against former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in 2006, several Arab news media reported Tuesday. Reports claim that Kurdish judge Raouf Abdul Rahman was executed by the Sunni militants in retaliation to Saddams hanging. The judge was earlier reported to have been captured by the militants last week on June 16. Though Iraqi government has not confirmed the news, several reports cited at least two important Facebook posts, confirming the report. One of the FB posts cited, is that of Jordanian MP Khalil Attiehq who wrote that Judge Rahman, who had headed the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal during Saddams trial in 2006, was arrested and sentenced to death in revenge for the tyrants death.
