The Somali Islamist movement al-Shabab has for the first time publicly killed a man for "insulting the prophet Muhammed", witnesses have told our reporters.
Crowds watched as the man was shot by a firing squad in the southern town of Jamame in the Lower Juba region.
Last month al-Shabab carried out an attack on Garissa College in neighbouring Kenya, killing 148 people.
The Islamist group controls large swathes of rural Somalia. Witnesses say that the man was shot by firing squad after he pleaded guilty in a Sharia court trial.
