In Iraq, a court has sentenced two more French nationals to death for joining the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group.

Iraq has so far sentenced 11 French nationals and one Tunisian citizen transferred from Syria to death during the last week.

They have 30 days to appeal against the sentence.

The group was handed over to Iraqi authorities early this year by a US-backed force in Syria.

The group was charged with carrying out attacks in Iraq and Syria and planning attacks in Paris and Brussels.

So far, Iraq has convicted more than 500 foreign men and women for joining the IS.
