Somalia: Al-Shabaab executes young man for suspected spying

December 23, 2014: Al-Shabaab militants have executed a young man for suspected spying for the Federal Government of Somalia. 

The group executed the man in front of a crowd in Biyo Ade, 40 kilometer outside of Jowhar, the capital of central Shabelle region.

Eyewitnesses told Bar-Kulan the group invited a crowd to witness the execution of the man whom they suspected was on a spying mission for the Mogadishu government. 

Witnesses said the executed man was a resident in the area, and there was no indication that he was working with the government.
