The two Kenyans were executed in Jubbada Dhexe region which is a stronghold of the militant group.
One of the Kenyans executed Mohamed Adan Nur Hassan was accused of leaking information that led to the killing of al-Shabaab leader Ahmed Godane in a US drone attack in September 2014.

The executed men are accused of collaborating with Kenyan, British, US and Israeli intelligence services to betray al-Shabaab in Somalia.
