Major Nur Aden in Baidoa says more men accused of being al Shabaab members will be executed today or tomorrow.

The four militants executed yesterday were found guilty of being responsible for twin blasts in Baidoa in February 2016, resulting in 80 deaths.

Al Shabaab often carries out such attacks in the capital and elsewhere in its bid to topple Somalia’s government and to drive out African Union peacekeeping troops.
