Iraq leader says Islamic State foreign fighters may face death penalty - interview.

BAGHDAD - Iraqi President Barham Salih said foreign Islamic State fighters tried in Iraq could be handed death sentences, according to an interview published by Abu Dhabi-based newspaper The National on Friday.

U.S.-backed forces in Syria handed some 280 Iraqi and foreign suspected Islamic State members last month, Iraq's military said. More such handovers are expected under an agreement to transfer some 500 detainees held by U.S.-backed forces in Syria.
