Saudi Man Loses His Head

Permanently.

We won't have Khaled Bin Abdul-Aziz al-Baze'ei to kick around any more.
The official Saudi Press Agency says authorities beheaded a Saudi man convicted of fatally shooting another man during a dispute.

The agency quotes an Interior Ministry statement saying that Khaled Bin Abdul-Aziz al-Baze'ei was executed Sunday in the eastern city of Qatif.

Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which people convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery can be executed — usually with a sword.

Sunday's execution brings to 82 the number of people beheaded this year in the kingdom, according to an Associated Press count.
