Al Shabaab executes two Kenyans in public

Two Kenyans have been executed in public by Somalia’s terror groups Al Shabaab.

This comes as Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet issued a terror alert on Friday asking for more vigilance and intelligence information.

According to Reuters, the Kenyans were among four others who were killed by the terror group for allegedly working for anti-terrorism spies from Kenya, Britain, Somalia and the US.

The executions took place on Friday June 10 in Bula fulay village, along the Bay region of Somalia.

Three of the men are said to have been shot dead by a firing squad while the fourth was decapitated.

The severe death of the latter was in a revenge mission as he was accused of feeding the US with crucial information that led to the death of their key leader Ahmed Godane in a drone strike in 2014.

The US had placed a bounty of Sh70 million (USD7 million) on the Al Shabaab leader in 2012. Godane is believed to be one of the men behind the 2013 Westgate attack that killed at least 68 people, among them 19 foreigners.

The beheaded man was Mohamed Aden Nur, 26, who was accused of “working with (the) CIA,” facilitating the killing of Al Shabaab’s former leader Ahmed Godane, who was killed in a US drone strike in 2014.

Another of the executed men, Muhaydin Hiraab Ahmed, 27, was accused of spying for the CIA and Kenya, and in aiding the killing of Adnan Garaar. Garaar, who allegedly masterminded the deadly assault on the Westgate Mall was also killed in a US drone strike in 2015.
