Shabaab executes three alleged ‘spies’
By Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss | January 27, 2017 | bill.roggio@longwarjournal.org |

Just one day after executing a deadly suicide assault on a popular hotel in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, Shabaab announced that its religious courts executed “three spies.” One of the alleged spies was accused of working for the CIA to direct drone strikes on Shabaab, better known as al Qaeda’s branch in East Africa.

Radio al Furqan, a Shabaab radio station and media outlet, reported that the three spies were killed in the town of Yaaq Barawe in the Bay Region of southern Somalia. The three were identified as local residents who were “found guilty” of aiding the CIA, Jubaland intelligence services, as well as Somali intelligence services, respectively. Another Shabaab outlet said that the individual who had purportedly worked for the CIA had been doing so for two months before being caught.
