Some 150 to 160 Arab fighters have appeared in Iraqi courts charged with carrying out terrorist attacks and could face the death penalty if convicted, the justice minister said.
"The Arabs have been referred to Iraqi courts and the verdicts against these foreigners are due to be pronounced soon for acts of terror they carried out in Iraq," Malik Dohan al-Hassan said in an interview.
He said those on trial included Egyptians, Iranians, Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians, Yemenites and Moroccans.
"The crimes committed in Iraq would be judged according to Iraqi law which reserves the death sentence for those charged with premeditated murder or those who carry out a car bombing to kill the biggest number of people," he said.
