A military court in Somalia has convicted two foreign extremists for fighting alongside terrorist group al-Shabab.
The court in Mogadishu sentenced Darren Anthony Byrnes from Britain and Ahmad Mustakim bin Abdul Hamid from Malaysia to 15 years in jail for being members of al-Shabab and entering the country illegally.
They are the first foreign extremists in Somalia to be convicted for al-Shabab membership, court officials said.
