An Iraqi security officer and the Center for the Analysis of Terrorism in Paris revealed the identities of ten French nationals accused of belonging to the Islamic State Organization. They were arrested in Iraq last month and are expected to face the death penalty.

Iraqi President Barham Salih announced late last February in Paris that 13 French nationals who had been captured by Kurds in Syria and handed over to Iraq "will be tried according to Iraqi law."

No date has yet been set for their trial, but Iraqi law provides for the death penalty for any person who has joined a "terrorist" organization, whether or not participating in hostilities.

The following is a summary of those detained:
