“The court carried out death penalties to four Al-Shabaab militants who organised and performed twin terrorist attacks in Baidoa town last year that left 80 people dead and 45 others injured,” Deputy prosecutor Mumin Abdulahi told reporters.
Those executed by firing squad are Hassan Mursal, 23, Abdiladhif Aden, 34, Siyad Farah, 41, and Sharmad Mohamed, 39.
Somali government’s military court often carries out death penalties against Al-Shabaab militants and some soldiers.
Southwest State in Somalia is battling Al-Shabaab militants in three key regions of Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabelle regions where the group seems to be active and isolated some towns from the rest of the other major cities in the country.
