Al-Qaeda Group Executes Teenage Girls While Town Forced to Watch

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — An Islamic group that controls much of southern Somalia executed two girls by firing squad, and hundreds of residents of a town were forced to view the spectacle.
Sheik Mohamed Ibrahim on Wednesday sentenced the girls to death in the town of Belet Weyne for spying for government soldiers fighting the Islamist group al-Shabab. The local al-Shabab administration appoints judges and the only needed qualifications are that the person must be a man who knows the Quran.
Al-Shabab is linked to al-Qaida and has carried out several whippings, amputations and executions to enforce its own strict interpretation of Islam. This was the first public execution of girls in Belet Weyne, a western Somali town.
Abdiwali Aden, a witness, told The Associated Press by phone that al-Shabab militiamen had walked through Belet Weyne’s streets, informing residents about the pending executions by loudspeaker and ordering everyone to attend.
Ayan Mohamed Jama, 18, and Huriyo Ibrahim, 15, were brought before hundreds of residents. Ten masked men opened fire Wednesday on the girls, who were blindfolded, soon after the sentencing. As the girls were shot, they shouted “There is no God but Allah,” said a witness who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals.
A woman fainted after she saw the girls being shot, said Da’ud Ahmed, another witness.
An al-Shabab official, Sheik Yusuf Ali Ugas, said the girls had admitted to spying. But Sadia Osman, who witnessed the execution, said one of the girls said she was innocent. Ugas also warned residents against using their mobile phones or cameras to document the execution, saying violates of his rule risked amputation.
Human Rights Watch said in an April report that al-Shabab imposes “unrelenting repression and brutality.”
Al-Shabab, which vows allegiance to al-Qaida and whose members include foreign fighters, controls large parts of southern Somalia and much of the capital, Mogadishu.
Somalia has not had an effective central government for 19 years. The U.N.-backed government controls only a few blocks of Mogadishu, while its allies control much of central Somalia.

Posted on October 28, 2010 at 9:01amThis is truly freightening. I can not believe that our Anti-Colonial, socialist president, WANTS the United States of America to be more like under-developed countries. I personally couldn’t even imagine what it would do to my heart and soul to have to watch two girls get executed. It would effect me for so long and I don’t know if I would ever be the same. We need to get back on track and keep America being what it was supposed to be, the HOME OF THE FREE. Freedom of choice, Freedom of liberties, and Freedom, plain and simple!

Posted on October 28, 2010 at 8:44amThe Associate Press isn’t to be trusted. They control the dissemination of much information. It is in the hands of a few people. While I agree that there are bad things going on around the world, even in the US, it is hard to find AP credible. Without exact video (but I wouldn’t want to watch it) or actual witnesses coming forward in person OR, most importantly, additional sources not quoting the AP, I think this is a false story. Just MO.

Posted on October 28, 2010 at 10:53amI’m not special in any sense, but I do have good intuition when it comes to truth and information. I have a great gift of discernment.
As I rephrase what I said earlier…. I am not disputing the fact that something of this order happened. I am disputing the AP and their control of information. As people research the AP and learn of its roots and funders, they become aware of the APs intent.
I’ve seen numerous articles over time from the AP that builds negative cases against innocent peoples.
The world will be deceived in the last days. The bible is clear about this. It states the majority of the world will be deceived. This means most of the posters here, including myself are suspect to being deceived.
Once we know our hearts and listen to the Spirit, we will know discernment.

If you can not read or write and some one tells you your religion says something how would you ever know the difference. That religion can be subverted as to use the people for any purpose the Imam chooses. It could be peace or it could be jihad especially if that jihad gives more power to the Imam.
