The bomb exploded as people were enjoying a night out during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

It was the deadliest single bombing in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003.

The Islamic State group (IS) has admitted carrying out the attack.

IS has been defeated and lost control of territory, but still remains active.

The executions were carried out on Sunday or Monday, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's office said. It did not name those executed.

A government source told AFP news agency that Ghazwan al-Zawbaee, held to be the IS mastermind behind the attack, was among those put to death.

Zawbaee had been captured and returned to Iraq in 2021.

The prime minister informed victims' families that "the rightful punishment of death sentence" had been carried out against "three key criminals found guilty of their involvement in the terrorist bombing", his office said.

On 3 July 2016 a vehicle filled with explosives was blown up next to a crowded shopping centre in Karrada, a mainly Shia Muslim area of the Iraqi capital.

Many of the victims were killed by a fire that ripped through the building after the bomb blast.

Interior Minister Mohammed Ghabban resigned in the wake of the blast.

The then-Prime Minister, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, accused Zawbaee of being the "primary culprit" behind that attack and "many others".

IS, a Sunni Muslim group, once controlled 88,000 sq km (34,000 sq miles) of territory stretching from eastern Iraq to western Syria and imposed its brutal rule on almost eight million people.

Despite the group's defeat on the battlefield in Iraq in 2017 and in Syria two years later, it is estimated that thousands of militants remain active in both countries.

In March, the UN estimated that IS still had "5,000 to 7,000 members and supporters" across Iraq and neighbouring Syria, "roughly half of whom are fighters".

THE MOST BRUTAL EXECUTION METHODS REPORTEDLY USED BY MEXICAN CARTELS.

The Most Brutal Execution Methods Reportedly Used By Mexican Cartels The Mexican Drug War - a sustained, violent conflict between powerful drug cartels and the Mexican government - has claimed an estimated 164,000 lives over the past decade. This rampant bloodshed has torn apart cities and communities across Mexico, often taking the lives of the innocent along with those directly involved. The Mexican cartels (The Sinaloa, Los Zetas, The Gulf Cartel, and the Knights Templar, most notably) and their known drug associates continue to escalate gratuitous acts of retaliation and often record the executions. In 2017, the Mexican government extradited Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, a known member of the Sinaloa cartel, to the US. Guzmán faces charges of murder and laundering funds. New York prosecutors have evidence against the alleged cartel leader, including YouTube videos in which Guzmán systematically harmed and then removed the heads of rival gang members. In a ...

Saudi Arabia execution: Horror video shows 'innocent' woman being BEHEADED for 'killing six-year-old' Man who filmed Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim's execution and put it on the internet is arrested following outrage after fears her family could watch A woman screamed her innocence right up until the last seconds before an executioner’s sword fell, beheading her for killing her husband’s six-year-old daughter. But the sword-weilding executioner had to take two swings to hack-off Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim’s head in graphic footage later uploaded onto the Internet. There were howls of protest over the woman’s execution in Saudi Arabia’s holy city of Mecca after she was found guilty of beating the girl and raping her with a broomstick. But the outrage, mainly from men, wasn’t about her sentence of death, but because it was filmed and uploaded onto the web, where her family might see it. Now the country’s religious police have arrested the person who filmed the e...
