Islamist hardlines in Somalia have stoned a Somali man for adultery, while his pregnant girlfriend plan to kill after gives birth.

Abas Hussein Abdirahman, 33 year old, was killed in front of some 300 people in the port town of Merka, some 60 miles (100Km) south of the capital Mogadishu.

Spokesperson for Al-shabab Group in port town Merka told the woman is waiting for death until she gives birth.

A Member of Al-shabab called Sheikh Suldan Aala Mohamed said Mr. Abdirahman had admitted to adultery before an Islamic court.

Somali Islamist group of Al-shabab controls much of southern Somalia, while the western backed government run a little of Mogadishu.

It is third time Islamist has stoned a person to kill for adultery only the past year.

If the girlfriend of Abdirahman is also killed, her baby would be taken to relatives to look after.

Somali moderate president Sh. Sharif Sh. Ahmed has accused Al-shabab of abusing the image of Islam by murdering people and harassing women.

During a ceremony at which he nominated a new administration for the capital of Mogadishu, President Sharif said ""Their actions have nothing to do with Islam."Adding "They are forcing women to wear very heavy clothes"
Al-shabab was stoned to death two men in the same town after being accused of spying. A 13-year –old girl was stoned to death for adultery in port town of Kismayo some 300 KM south of Mogadishu last year.
According to Human rights groups a young girl had been raped. Also another man has been punished in this way in the lower Shabelle region.
Somalia has not had an effective government since warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991.
