Finnish prosecutors are demanding life sentences for Iraqi twin brothers charged with ISIS-related killings of at least 11 unarmed soldiers in their home country.

The Pirkanmaa District Court said Tuesday the alleged killings were part of atrocities committed by the militants at a military base outside Tikrit in June 2014 when some 1,700 Iraqi army soldiers were slain.

 The 23-year-old brothers, who have not been identified, arrived in Finland in September 2015 and were arrested three months later.
