I'm confused about something now. At the time (October 27 and soon therafter) I thought the stadium stoning was attributed not to the Islamic Courts Union, but to supporters of al-Shabab (which I have referred to above as "the bad Muslims," whom I thought weakened the ICU.)   Now when I went to re-check, the great bulk of articles attribute the verdict and sentencing to the ICU. Kismayo, a port city where the stoning occurred, was captured in August by a coalition loyal to "rebel leader" Hassan Turki and al-Shabab.

Was this stoning the handiwork of both groups? Are they not at odds?
