RIYADH, Saudi Arabia–Saudi Arabia on Monday beheaded five foreigners for murder and robbery, an unusually high number that adds to what Amnesty International has called a “macabre spike” in the kingdom’s executions.<\/p>\n

Two Yemenis, a Chadian, an Eritrean and a Sudanese were put to death in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency.<\/p>\n

It identified them as Yemenis Khaled Fetini and Ibrahim Nasser, Hassan Omar from Chad, Eritrean Salem Idriss and Abdel Wahhab Abdel Maeen from Sudan.<\/p>\n

They were all convicted of killing the Indian guard at a business and stealing money from the safe.<\/p>\n

Their beheadings bring to 78 the number of locals and foreigners executed in Saudi Arabia this year, compared with 87 for all of last year, according to AFP tallies.<\/p>\n

Normally one or two people are executed at a time.<\/p>\n

London-based Amnesty ranked Saudi Arabia among the world’s top three executioners of 2014.<\/p>\n

Drug trafficking, rape, murder, apostasy and armed robbery are all punishable by death under the Gulf nation’s strict version of Islamic sharia law.<\/p>\n

The interior ministry has cited deterrence as a reason for carrying out the punishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
