Dozens of ISIS fanatics involved in the massacre of 1,700 Iraqi army recruits have been hanged in front of their victims' relatives.
The 36 jihadists had been found guilty of involvement in the 'Speicher' massacre, named after a base near Tikrit in Iraq where the recruits were kidnapped before being butchered by terrorists.
Officials say relatives of some of the extremists' victims attended the mass hanging at Nasiriyah prison.

ISIS captured an estimated 1,700 soldiers after seizing Saddam Hussein's home town of Tikrit in 2014.
The soldiers were trying to flee from nearby Camp Speicher, a former US base just outside the northern city.
Shortly after taking Tikrit, ISIS posted graphic images of gunmen shooting the men dead after forcing them to lie face down in a shallow ditch.

The Speicher massacre sparked outrage across Iraq and partially fueled the mobilisation of Shiite militias in the fight against ISIS, a Sunni extremist group. The militias now rival the power of Iraq's conventional armed forces.
Iraqi forces arrested dozens of men allegedly linked to the massacre after retaking Tikrit in 2015 with the help of US-led airstrikes.
The men executed on Sunday were sentenced to death by an Iraqi court earlier this year.
Following the death of more than 300 people in the worst ever single bomb attack to strike Baghdad last month, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had said he wanted to expedite the execution of inmates sentenced to death in terrorism cases.

A Dhiqar governor confirmed to AFP that the executions were carried out by hanging.
His spokesman said that around 400 of the Speicher massacre victims were from the Dhiqar province, which is predominantly Shiite and located in Iraq's south.
'Tens of relatives attended the executions,' said Dawood. 'They shouted Allahu Akbar (God is greatest), they were happy to see those people dead.'
Among them was Najla Shaab, a 30-year-old woman whose husband was killed in the massacre, leaving her to raise their children alone.
'Thank you God, it's a fair punishment for the worst crime, a triple crime of killing, throwing bodies in the river and burying people alive,' she told AFP by phone.
One of the sites of the massacre was the former river police building inside former president Saddam Hussein's palace complex in Tikrit.
Video footage subsequently released by ISIS showed an assembly-line massacre in which gunmen herded their victims towards the quay, shot them in the back of the head and pushed them in the water one after the other.

The trials that have led to Iraq's latest batches of death sentences have been severely criticised by rights groups as failing to meet basic standards.
Amnesty International had slammed Iraq's systematic resort to the death penalty following the execution of 22 other people in May this year.
'The use of the death penalty is deplorable in all circumstances, and it is particularly horrendous when applied after grossly unfair trials marred by allegations of confessions extracted under torture as is frequently the case in Iraq,' the group's Iraq researcher Diana Eltahawy said.
The United Nations had criticised Abadi's call to speed up executions, which according to Amnesty already topped 100 for 2016 before Sunday's hangings.
'Fast-tracking executions will only accelerate injustice,' UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said earlier this month.
The Speicher massacre is considered one of IS's worst crimes since it took over large parts of the country in 2014.
Combined with a call by the country's top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani for Iraqis to take up arms against them, the Speicher massacre played a key role in the mass recruitment of Shiite volunteers to fight the jihadists.

How about Turkey? They let these Fuckers pass through their borders for a bribe for a few years. Yesterday an ISIS child suicide bomber detonated himself amongst 20 children dancing at a Turkish wedding. Last I heard 51 total dead.

Agree. Turkey has manipulatedthe situation, it let ISIS recruits from all over the world freely flow through its borders, it freely bought oil from ISIS, It watched a border town battle between Kurds and ISIS and did nothing, it turned a blind eye to refugees crossing through Turkey and flooding Europe.
