Saudi Arabia executes Pakistani convicted of drug trafficking
[DAWN] Soddy Arabia...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... on Tuesday put to death a Pak man convicted of drug smuggling, bringing to 93 the number of executions in the kingdom this year. Mohammed Ishaq Thawab Gul had been found guilty of trafficking heroin into the kingdom, the Saudi interior ministry said. Most people put to death in the Gulf country are beheaded with a sword. Murder and drug trafficking cases account for the majority of Saudi executions, although 47 people were put to death for "terrorism" on a single day in January.
