Al shabab behead Two in El Bur town, central Somalia
2012-06-12
(Sh. M. Network)-Two dead bodies with their heads ripped off by Al shabab fighters were found lying in a rebel-held town in central Somalia, witnesses and officials said.

According to El Bur residents who spoke with Shabelle Media via phone under anonymity, said two headless bodies of young boys were seen in early hours on Monday in the heart of the city that are believed to been killed by the Islamist militants.

The executions have shocked the people of El Bur town, which fell to Al-Shabab insurgents yesterday, following the pull-out of Ethiopian and ASWJ troops from the city under unidentified circumstance.

Al shabab officials charged the victims to have been to spying for Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a ASWJ, a pro-Transitional Federal Government militia in central Somalia.

#3   two headless bodies of young boys

They probably objected too strenuously to being raped.
