I was surprised by this execution.... I thought they would go through the other charges first.
So, naturally I wonder why?

Maybe, like Griff said, they're afraid he would be freed, if the shit hits the fan.

But, I wonder if this quick execution, was to appease the Mullahs, on both sides, that were worried about a secular faction being in the power mix for a coalition government?

This pretty much guarantees the government will be dominated by the two Muslim factions and, in my opinion, will drive the Kurds toward independence. But I could be way off base....again.
