Finland arrests 2 Iraqis suspected of killing for IS
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFinnish police says they have arrested two Iraqi brothers believed to have been members of the Islamic State group in Iraq and suspected of fatally shooting “11 unarmed and defenseless prisoners” in June 2014.
The National Bureau of Investigation says that the men arrived in Finland in September and were arrested Tuesday following an investigation with Finnish security police.
The agency says in a statement that IS posted a video online of the shooting of the prisoners in the city of Tikrit.
Police say both brothers were 23 but did not say whether they were twins, or whether the men were asylum-seekers. Some 17,000 Iraqis have sought asylum in Finland so far this year.
