In a public square in Kismayo, Somalia, thousands of people gathered to witness 50 Somali men stone a woman to death after an Islamic court found her guilty of adultery.
Sharia victim Aisho Ibrahim Dhuhulow was buried in the ground up to her neck while the men pelted her head with rocks, according to witnesses.
In a chillingly sickening manner, local Islamist leader Sheikh Hayakallah kicked off the public killing by announcing, "Our sister Aisho asked the Islamic Sharia court in Kismayo to be charged and punished for the crime she committed. She admitted in front of the court to engaging in adulterous sexual intercourse."
The port of Kismayo was seized in August by a coalition of forces loyal to rebel leader Hassan Turki, and the Shebab, the country's main radical Islamist insurgent organization. The rebel administration began implementing a strict form of Sharia (Islamic law).
