Saudi Arabia executed 2 Indian men on Thursday for stabbing to death a co-worker, the official Saudi Press Agency reported. It quoted an Interior Ministry statement as saying the 2 had been convicted of the premeditated murder of the victim, also an Indian man. The executions brought to at least 15 the number of people put to death in the kingdom this year. At least 121 people were executed in Saudi Arabia in 2000. The kingdom applies strict Islamic sharia laws, executing murderers, rapists and drug smugglers, usually by beheading in public.
