Two in Saudi Arabia now a foot shorter
RIYADH: A Saudi and a Pakistani were beheaded by the sword in Saudi Arabia on Friday, the former for murdering a compatriot and the latter for smuggling drugs. The Saudi man, Rashed bin Modhesh al-Dosari, was convicted of fatally shooting Mohammed bin Moshen al-Dosari after a row and executed in the Riyadh region. Pakistani Rana Mohammed Shafik was caught smuggling heroin into the kingdom and convicted of drug trafficking, and was beheaded in Jeddah. The beheadings took to 28 the number of executions announced in Saudi Arabia this year, according to a tally based on official statements. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-08-02 |
