Saudi woman executed for murder
A Saudi woman was executed in the Muslim holy city of Mecca yesterday for stabbing to death another woman, the Interior Ministry said.
It said Noura bint Salman al-Faidi stabbed Dalal bint Abdullah al-Faidi several times with a knife and then poured petrol over her body and set it on fire.
Saudi Arabia, which implements strict Islamic Sharia law, executes convicted murderers, rapists and drug traffickers, usually by public beheading with a sword. Women are either beheaded or killed by firing squad.
Yesterday?s execution brought to at least 51 the number of people put to death in the kingdom this year, compared to 35 last year and 53 in 2003.
