Just the fact that the news got out in the first place was incredible. We first thought she was 23 because a witness there guestimated her age. Then we found out from a researcher working for Amnesty International that she was in fact 13. Also, I'm pretty sure she was killed a town square, but you know, "stadiums" is sometimes intepreted loosly, especially when there's a tranlation issue. Anyway, bottom line: She was 13, we're working to correct other reports, she was raped, tried for adultery, and stoned. TO AG:

However, I'm a bit concerned about the contradictory reports. One says she's 23, another says she's 13. One says she's killed in the town square, another says a stadium. Not that these details actually change the heinous nature of the crime, but it does make me question the credibility of the sources. The story of the Somalian girl is terrible.
