Somalia executes two Islamic State militants

Somalia has executed by firing squad two militants from the Islamic State (IS) group.

The state-owned Somali National News Agency (Sonna) reported that a military court found the two “guilty of assassinations” in the capital, Mogadishu, and Bosaso town in north-eastern Bari region.

The two were identified as Adan Mohamed Ali Mohamud and Mohamed Ali Mohamed Farah.

Local media reports said many al-Shabab and Islamic State militants are still in prisons waiting to be executed after being sentenced to death.

The Islamic State insurgents mainly operate in north-eastern Puntland where they had claimed attacks in the past.
