The Islamists murdered Abdirahman Ahmed after alleging him of converting from Islam by working with non-Muslim Ethiopian forces.
01/16/2009 Somalia (BBC News)-A Somali politician has been executed after being accused of changing his religion by working with non-Muslim Ethiopian forces.
An Islamist spokesman in the port of Kismayo told the BBC that Abdirahman Ahmed was shot dead on Thursday.
Mr Ahmed had worked with Kismayo’s former warlord – the MP Barre Hirale – who is accused of attempting to retake the city with Ethiopian backing.
Islamist authorities in the city stoned a 12-year-old girl to death for adultery in November, although her aunt said she was raped.
