NAIROBI, Kenya — Somali Islamist fighters on Friday beheaded seven prisoners accused of abandoning the Muslim faith and spying for the government in the largest mass execution since the Islamists were pushed from power two and a half years ago.
The public killings in the southwestern town of Baidoa followed weeks of fighting as the Islamists try to seize Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, amid mounting concerns about the influx of hundreds of foreign fighters to the failed state.
