Saudi beheads murderers: Saudi Arabia beheaded two of its citizens for murder Tuesday, adding to what a rights group calls a "campaign of death" in which more than 100 people have been executed. Mohammed al-Otaibi was convicted of shooting dead another Saudi, the interior ministry said in a statement on the official Saudi Press Agency. Authorities carried out the sentence in Riyadh. Separately, Turki al-Zahrani was put to death in the Muslim holy city of Mecca for stabbing dead a fellow Saudi, the ministry said. The two cases brought to 102 the number of Saudi nationals and foreigners executed in the kingdom this year.
