Baghdad: An Iraqi court on Sunday sentenced three French citizens to death after they were found guilty of joining Daesh, a court official said.

Captured in Syria by a US-backed force fighting the group, Kevin Gonot, Leonard Lopez and Salim Machou are the first French Daesh members to receive death sentences in Iraq, where they were transferred for trial.
