Hundreds of local residents have watched the killing of the alleged spy agents.
It’s not the first time, Al-Shabaab executes people blamed for espionage and other critical chares in its strongholds in southern Somalia.

[RADIOSHABELLE] At least 54 university students have abandoned their studies to join terrorist groups in the past two years.
The majority of them ‐ 44 ‐ joined the groups last year but this year only 14 have fled, a police report reveals.
The decline in the number of terror recruits has been attributed to various counter-terrorism strategies by the Government.
"Most of the successes from current counter-terrorism efforts are largely due to close working relations between security agencies and members of the public who voluntarily share information with security personnel," says the report.
Terror groups The students were among dozens of youths who left the country to join terror groups in countries such as Libya, Somalia, and Syria. But this trend has declined due to, among others, enhanced security patrols along the Kenya-Somali border and other Kenyan border points.
Additionally, many Kenyan youths are increasingly becoming aware of the futility of joining myrmidon groups such as al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... and ISIS, the report says.
The report cites intelligence that shows that many of the Kenyan terror runaways in Somalia have borne the wrath of al-Shabaab, which is increasingly accusing them of spying for the Kenya Defence Forces in Somalia.

The decline in the number of terror recruits has been attributed to various counter-terrorism strategies by the Government.
[RADIOSHABELLE] Four al-Shabaab ... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia... holy warriors including top commanders surrendered to the Somali government on Thursday, officials said.
Ugaas Hassan, the Information Minister for the Southwest State in Somalia, confirmed to Xinhua that the holy warriors agreed to lay down arms and surrender to Somali National Army and Southwest State forces in Berdale town.
"Four al-Shabaab fighters including the deputy commander of the group in the Bay region surrendered to the officials of the Somalia National Army (SNA) and Southwest state in Somalia in Berdale town, these holy warriors decided to denounce the wrong ideology of the terrorist group al-Shabaab," said Hassan.
The joint forces, including the SNA and African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... troops, have intensified military operations against al-Shabaab holy warriors in the recent past while some holy warriors are either escaping or leaving from the group now.
"Military operations are going on in the region now, and we are welcoming anyone who is in the terrorist group to accept grinding of the peace processor," Hassan said.
The latest development came against a backdrop of factional wars within the al-Qaeda linked terrorist network that has intensified this year.

[ARABNEWS] Bahrain’s top military court sentenced six men to death on Monday after convicting them of charges including plotting to assassinate the Gulf state’s armed forces chief, state media reported.
It was the first official mention of any plot against the life of Field Marshal Sheikh Khalifa bin Ahmed al-Khalifa, who is a member of the ruling family, but the Bahrain News Agency gave no further details of when or where it was alleged to have taken place.
A judicial source told AFP that all six of those sentenced to death on Monday were Shiites.
BNA said that one of them was a serving soldier before his arrest and that all six were also stripped of their citizenship.
The court sentenced seven other defendants to seven-year jail terms and deprived them too of their citizenship. Five men were acquitted.
Only 10 of the defendants are in jug, BNA said. The other eight are on the run ‐ either inside Bahrain or in Iran or Iraq.

[IsraelTimes] Military says soldiers identified evidence that someone crossed illegally into Israel in the Arava desert area
The army launched a manhunt in the Arava desert on Monday after finding evidence that someone illegally crossed into the area from Jordan, a military official said.
"Earlier today, during a routine search along the Israeli-Jordanian border, footprints indicating an illegal crossing into Israel from Jordan were identified," the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
"The IDF along with the Israel Police and the Shin Bet security service are continuing to search the area. The incident is being investigated," the statement said.
The army maintains so-called "blurred" paths along the country’s borders, strips of undisturbed dirt that allow trackers to quickly see footprints and other traces of illegal infiltration.
An IDF spokesperson said the army would not elaborate on where exactly the footprints were found along the border, other than to say that it was in the Arava desert.
Israel’s border with Jordan is generally seen as a quiet one, owing to a 1994 peace treaty with the Hashemite Kingdom and strong defense ties. There is, however, always concern that the relative calm will be exploited by terrorist or criminal groups to enter Israel for nefarious purposes.
