Iraq has recently executed six political Iraqi prisoners suspected of having ties with the Iraqi opposition, a newspaper reported in Kurdish-populated northern Iraq. The independent Jamawar paper named those executed by Baghdad's public security commissariat as Abbas Faraj, Naji Dulaimi, Mohammad Omar, Mohammad Ridha Ismael, Ryad Fadhel and Abbas Nasser. The paper, however, did not provide details on whether the alleged executions took place before or after an October 20th amnesty decreed by Iraq's President Saddam Hussein for all prisoners in Iraq.
