Two Islamic State militants executed in Somalia

Two Islamic State (IS) militants were executed by firing squad in Somalia.

According to the state-owned Somali National News Agency (Sonna), a military court found the two “guilty of assassination” in Mogadishu and Bosaso town in the 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.
