(Reuters) - An
Iraqi government air strike on a Sharia court set up by Islamic State
militants in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul killed 60 people on
Wednesday, the office of the prime minister's military spokesman said. The Islamic State
judge who ran the court was among those killed, the spokesman said. The
Sunni militants routinely hand down sentences such as beheadings. Hospital
officials and witnesses said earlier that the air strike had killed 50
people in a makeshift prison set up by the Islamic State, which seized
large chunks of Iraq in June.
