MOGA DISHU, Somalia — The nation’s most powerful Islamic insurgents, the al-Shabab, executed two teenage girls Wednesday after deciding they were spies, setting off fears among residents, officials and witnesses said.

The two teens — one 18, the other 14 — were shot by firing squad in the center of the town of Beledweyne, near the border with Ethiopia, witnesses said.

Townspeople argued that the teens were innocent and had been caught in crossfire just outside Beledweyne.
