An Iraqi court sentenced Abu Hamza alias Abu Hamza al-Belgiki, a Belgian member of the Islamic State (IS) militant group over charges if training children for IS attacks against Iraqi forces.
The Central Criminal Court in Baghdad issued a verdict of death penalty by hanging.
The Belgium national, who is of Moroccan origin, was one of the most sought after terrorists who fought in Syria and Iraq with ISIS.
The increase in executions in Iraq has sparked calls for abolishing capital punishment from the UN, the European Union and some international human rights groups, citing the lack of transparency in Iraqi courts.
Death penalty in Iraq was suspended on June 10, 2003, but was reinstated from Aug. 8, 2004.
