Eissa Khan Saeed-Allah was found guilty of smuggling an unspecified amount of heroin into the kingdom. The execution, carried out with a sword in a public square, brings the number of people beheaded in the kingdom this year to 38. At least 99 people were executed last year. Murder, armed robbery, drug smuggling and sexual crimes are punishable by death under Saudi Arabia's strict interpretation of Islamic laws, which also call for the amputation of hands and feet of thieves. Human rights organizations have criticized the executions and amputations, saying the accused do not receive fair trials. - --- MAP posted-by: Greg
