It seems the Saudi regime knows how to take care of criminals. Perhaps this is why they have not had many attacks recently. And we worry about profiling at airports. Three Saudi security guards beheaded RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Three Saudi security guards were beheaded Sunday in northern Saudi Arabia after being convicted of trafficking in hashish and using government vehicles to transport the drug, the Interior Ministry said. Khamis bin Mabrouk al-Sayeri, Nasser bin Mohammed al-Fahadi and Zidan al-Oqaili al-Anzi were arrested loading an undisclosed amount of hashish into vehicles belonging to Saudi border guards, officials said. The guards were later convicted of drug trafficking and breaching the state's trust for using the vehicles. They were beheaded in the northern border city of Arar, according to the Interior Ministry statement, carried by the official Saudi Press Agency. Sunday's executions brought to 13 the number of people executed here this year. Last year at least 52 people, mostly drug smugglers, were beheaded. Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which people convicted of drug trafficking, murder, rape and armed robbery are executed. Beheadings are carried out with a sword in public.
