Execution
SAN'A,
Yemen
(AP) A Yemeni man convicted of murder has been executed by firing
squad, an official with the public prosecutor's office said Sunday.
Ali Saleh al-Qousi was executed Saturday in Dhamar province, 100
kilometers (62 miles) south of the capital, San'a, for murdering
Ali Naji Mohsen, the official said. It wasn't clear when al-Qousi
was convicted or when and how he committed the murder. Yemen, an
impoverished country at the southern corner of the Arabian
peninsula, imposes the death penalty for rape and murder
convictions.
