4 Pakistanis beheaded in S. Arabia
DUBAI, May 10: Saudi Arabia beheaded four Pakistani men on Friday for bludgeoning to death a Pakistani to steal his possessions, the official Saudi Press Agency reported.
It said the four were convicted of spreading “corruption on earth”, a charge which carries the death penalty under Islamic laws, after they killed the Pakistani man and divided up his belongings.
The executions were carried out in the northern city of Tabuk.—Reuters
