"16-Year-Old Executes His Father's Killer
A Somali teenager has stabbed his father’s killer to death in a public execution ordered by an Islamic court. A large crowd was present in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, to witness 16-year-old Mohamed Moallim stab Omar Hussein in the head and throat. Hussein was earlier convicted of killing the boy’s father, Sheikh Osman Moallim after an argument about Mohamed’s education.
During the execution, Hussein was bound to a stake and his head covered with a bag. As the boy stepped up to carry out the execution, Hussein shouted, "There is no God but Allah."
After the execution, the boy said he felt satisfied that Hussein was dead. "I am happy now because I killed the man who killed my father," he told Reuters.
Under Sharia law, murder is punishable by death. Some feel Islamic courts have brought some order to Mogadishu by imposing Sharia law after years of violent rule by warlords. Residents have reported a drop in robberies, murder and other crimes since the court was brought into action.
