                          Somali Woman Stoned to Death

   by VOA News

   A Somali woman has been publicly stoned to death for being married to
   several men at the same time.

   The 33-year-old woman was put to death Friday in the southern coastal
   town of Barawe, which is controlled by the Islamist militant group
   al-Shabab. The woman had confessed to being married to at least three
   men at the same time.

   She was buried in soil up to her neck and pelted with stones by masked
   executioners, as a crowd looked on.

   Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaida, controls wide swaths of
   Somalian territory, where it imposes a strict interpretation of sharia
   law.
