Al-Shabab 'executes army spies'

 

Somalia's militant Islamist group al-Shabab has killed execution-style three people, including an elderly man, after accusing them of spying for the army.

The killings took place in front of a crowd in Mubarak village in southern Somalia, media linked to al-Shabab reported.

The militants, who are affiliated to al-Qaeda, control much territory in rural areas of Somalia, and are fighting to overthrow the UN-backed government.

The militants are known for killing suspected informers, including those accused of spying for US and other foreign intelligence agencies.
