13 Hanged in Iraq Government officials announced the hanging of 13 insurgents in Iraq, the first executions of anti-government rebels to take place since the ouster of ex-president Saddam Hussein. Only one of those hanged was named by authorities. Shukair Farid, a former policeman in Mosul, was executed after allegedly confessing he aided Syrian foreign fighters carry out assassinations against Iraqi police and civilians. The death penalty was reinstated by Iraqi authorities in June 2004, reportedly so the nation had the option to execute Saddam Hussein if he is convicted of the crimes for which he now stands trial.

Abu Ghraib Set to Close The US army has announced it plans to begin the transfer of thousands of prisoners out of Abu Ghraib prison, the first step in its plan to hand the notorious detention facility over to Iraqi authorities.

Authorities say the transfer of more than 4,000 prisoners to the new detention center could take several months.
