A Somalia military court on Monday confirmed the execution by firing squad of a serial Al-Shabaab bomber. Abdulkadir Abukar Shaa’ir, 41, had been convicted of a series of bombings last year. Shaa’ir was convicted of conducting pre-bombing surveillance, delivering explosive-laden cars, a journalist with the Voice of America, Harun Maruf reported. His execution comes after the court found him guilty of terrorism related crimes last month. He was arrested in May 2017 whiles driving a car fitted with explosives.
He was subsequently arraigned before the military court and sentenced to death on December 6, 2017. It is not the first time authorities are executing a convicted terrorist in a country riled by Al-Shabaab insurgents.
