Somali Military on Monday April 11 executed by firing squad a journalist who assassinated colleagues for the Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab militant group.
Hassan Hanafi, sentenced to death last month after military judges said he had confessed to his role in the killing of five journalists, was executed at a police academy in the capital Mogadishu shortly after dawn.
Several journalists watched the execution and said Hanafi struggled as he was taken to be killed, with the police having to tie him to the firing post.
He confessed and was found guilty of masterminding the murder of several Somali journalists...
Hanafi was arrested in August 2014 in Kenya and extradited to Somalia late that year.
