January 13, 2008: Somalia's interim government executed a soldier convicted of killing a civilian.

Shukri Hussein Mohamed was killed by firing squad in the national capital Mogadishu, with hundreds of witnesses and senior military commanders present.

Col. Mohamed Osman Dinih, commander of Somalia's navy, told reporters that the soldier was executed after being convicted of intentionally killing an innocent woman last year. He was charged with murder and sentenced by a military court, according to Col. Dinih.

"This is a clear warning to other soldiers who commit crimes against civilians," he said.
