		</div><p>Iraq has executed 36 men convicted of taking part in the co-called &#8216;Islamic State&#8217; group&#8217;s massacre of hundreds of soldiers in 2014.</p>
<p>The men were hanged at the Nasiriyah prison in southern Iraq today, said Governor Yahya al-Nasirir.</p>
<p>The executions were confirmed by a Justice Ministry official.</p>
<p>&#8216;IS&#8217; captured an estimated 1,700 soldiers from the nearby Speicher military base when it overran the northern city of Tikrit in the summer of 2014.</p>
<p>It later posted graphic images online of the soldiers being lined up before trenches and shot dead.</p>
<p>The men executed today were arrested after Iraqi forces retook Tikrit in 2015 and sentenced to death by an Iraqi court earlier this year.</p>
