Mogadishu, Somalia (AHN) - Somalia’s al Qaeda-inspired terror group al Shabaab executed two people in a village outside of Mogadishu, accusing the pair of spying for the Ethiopian government.Hundreds of locals, mostly displaced people, were invited to view the execution, which took place in the village square. People in the village were astonished by the hasty judgment, and expressed concern, a resident said.On October 4, the group severed the right hand and left foot of a Somali teenager for robbery. Al Shabaab accused Hashi Farah of robbing buses and trucks passing between Somalia and Ethiopia. Sheikh Mika’il, an al Shabaab judge in Buloburde, told the crowd that the teenager had confessed to the crime. Maka'il then recited the 38th verse of Surat Al Ma’ida in the Qur’an, which is about stealing and its related punishment.
It is not the first time al Shabaab has carried out such sentences. On July 25, 2009, al Shabaab, which intends to impose a strict version of Sharia Islamic law throughout war-devastated Somalia, severed the right hands and left feet of four teenagers accused of robbery in Mogadishu
