...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

group, a security source says.

Abdullah Sabawi, dubbed the "grandnephew" of the executed dictator by Iraqi media, was extradited on Wednesday, the security official tells AFP on condition of anonymity.

"He is accused of having been a member of IS and having participated in the Speicher massacre" of 2014, in which up to 1,700 air force cadets were executed by the jihadist group, the source adds.

A Lebanese judicial source said Sabawi, born in 1994, "was detained on June 11" following an Interpol notice calling for his arrest over his alleged involvement in the massacre.

"Iraq requested his extradition," the Lebanese source adds.

Sabawi’s family has denied the accusations, telling AFP he had been in Yemen

at the time of the killings.

The Camp Speicher massacre was considered one of IS’s worst crimes after it took over large parts of Iraq in 2014.

Video footage released by IS showed an assembly-line massacre in which button men herded their victims towards the banks of the Tigris, shot them in the back of the head and pushed them into the river one after the other.

Dozens have been sentenced to death by Iraqi courts over their involvement in the killings, many of them having already been executed.
