Abdullahi Hersi Eed, Puntland’s Regional Attorney General, said the court sentenced the militants to death for their role in the attack, which left 24 soldiers dead and another 73 wounded in the region.
The militants were members of al-Shabaab, an organisation of Sunni extremists that has been fighting for the domination of Somalia for years, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Al The defendants were given one month to appeal the verdict.
