Somalia executes two MP assassins

Two suspected members of the Islamist group al-Shabab have been executed by firing squad in the Somali capital.

A military court in Mogadishu found them guilty of killing five people, including four members of p
arliament.

One of the MPs was the popular female singer, Saado Ali Warsame, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in July.

Al-Shabab advocates the strict Saudi-inspired Wahhabi version of Islam and is battling the UN-backed government to create an Islamic state.

This is not the first time al-Shabab suspects have been executed by the Somali authorities.

At the time of Ms Ali Warsame’s death, an al-Shabab spokesman told the Media that the singing MP was targeted for her politics and not her music.

Al-Shabab often target politicians, bombing the hotels in which they stay in Mogadishu, and have attacked the presidential palace at least four times in the last three years.
