The four men were executed in Baidoa, which lies about 245 km northwest of Mogadishu, on Monday. The same court executed on Tuesday a policeman who was accused of killing a civilian and wounding the victim's two sons, officials said.
"Yesterday, four Death Eaters who had been behind blasts were executed. More men accused of being al-Shabaab members will be executed today or tomorrow," Major Nur Aden, a military officer in Baidoa, told Rooters.
In Tuesday's execution, Ali Buubo Mohammed, a policeman, was shot by a firing squad after he was found guilty of killing Kassim Abdi and injuring his sons. He was sentenced to death last November.
Mumin Hussein Abdullahi, the deputy prosecutor of the court, confirmed that execution.
The four Death Eaters were found guilty of being responsible for twin blasts in Baidoa in February 2016, resulting in 80 deaths.
