Islam in action : Somalis watch double amputations on teens...

Hardline Islamists in Somalia have carried out double amputations on four men for stealing phones and guns.

They have each had a hand and foot cut off after being convicted by a Sharia court in the capital earlier this week.

More then 300 people, mainly women and children, watched as masked men cut off their limbs with machetes.

The four men reportedly admitted to the robberies, but were not represented by a lawyer and were not allowed to appeal against their sentence.

The al-Shabab group, which controls much of southern Somalia, has carried out amputations, floggings and an execution in the port of Kismayo but such punishments are rare in the capital.

The amputations were carried out in the open in front of an al-Shabab military camp in the north-east of Mogadishu.

A local resident said the four men cried out during and after the amputations. Each man had his right hand and left foot cut off.

"'Help, help, help!' one of them shouted," Mohamed Abdi told the BBC.

    Mira Hair Oil is a simple item to make use of, all you have to do is to try using 1 / 2 a
    teaspoon or even a full teaspoon at the most plus massage the oil directly on your scalp and hair.
    It can also be left in the hair as a conditioner but it may
    be hard to explain the tomatoes. It only leaves
    a lustrous sheath on the hair and gives it a beautiful look rather and
    the greasy effect that is left by the usual hair oils.
    All-natural oils such as olive, coconut, and avocado oil can be used
