KSA executes 3 Pakistanis for drug smuggling
 Saudi Arabia executed three Pakistanis, including two women, for drugs smuggling on Wednesday, taking to 20 the number of reported executions in the kingdom since the beginning of the year. The official Saudi Press Agency said that the two women were put to death in the coastal city of Jeddah for smuggling heroin into the country. Saudi Arabia implements strict Islamic law and usually carries out executions by public beheading with a sword. The country executed 86 people in 2005 and 36 in 2004. Posted by: Fred 2006-11-09 |
