Al shabab Fighters

09 July 2019 :

Al-Shabab militants put to death four people in the southern town of Jamame on 7 July 2019, immediately after the judge in an al-Shabab court declared them guilty.
Firing squads shot and killed two men accused of being Somali government soldiers and a woman accused of being a spy for Kenya.  The militants identified the woman as 20-year-old Iqra Abdi Aden.
Afterward, an 18-year-old man, Nur Bakar Jirow, was publicly stoned to death for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl.  The man argued the sex was consensual, but the judge said he deserved the death penalty because he was married at the time.
