"BAGHDAD, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Twenty-six men and one woman were hanged in Iraq's first mass execution since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein."

"All the condemned had been convicted of terror and criminal charges, officials said. The executions were carried out at the Abu Ghraib prison where several gallows are erected, The Telegraph, a British newspaper, reported."

"Mass executions were stopped after coalition troops ousted Saddam three years ago. This new round came days after control of Abu Ghraib was handed back to Iraqi authorities."
