A Somali woman has been stoned to death for committing what a judge has said was adultery.
The 20-year-old divorcee was executed November 17 after confessing to having had sex with a 29-year-old unmarried man.
Sheikh Ibrahim Abdirahman, the judge for a court created by the rebel group Al-Shabab, says the woman was killed in front of a crowd of some 200 people near the town of Wajid.
It was the second recorded stoning for adultery carried out by Al-Shabab fighters.
