The Central Criminal Court of Iraq on Monday convicted five members of the Islamic State to death by hanging.

The five members were accused of detonating a car bomb at an Iraqi Army security checkpoint in Baghdad, resulting in the death and injuries of 13.

According to the Media Center of the Supreme Judicial Council in the Rasafa Federal Appeal Court, the alleged terrorists admitted to being members of the Islamic State, performing duties in affiliation with the organization, as well as to the bombing itself.

The court convicted the perpetrators under the Iraqi Anti-Terrorism Law, No. 13 of 2005, which allows the death penalty as punishment for convictions of terrorism.

The verdict can be appealed and is subject to challenge before the Federal Court of Cassation.
