Somalis 'made to view executions'
Found on BBC News on Saturday, 24 October 2009
Hundreds of people in Somalia have been forced to watch Islamist militants executing two people accused of spying.
The militants also ordered schools to close for the day as they were keen for children to watch the two men being shot dead by a firing squad.
The aim, said al-Shabaab, was to stop young men from wasting time, and to focus on important things like defending their territory and their religion.
Perhaps it would have been a good idea at some point in the past to round up all the religious people and execute them. That would have saved a lot of lives in the long run and made the world a better place.
