PAKISTANI AND IRAQI BEHEADED IN SAUDI ARABIA

RIYADH: An Iraqi and a Pakistani were beheaded on Saturday in Saudi Arabia 
after being convicted of drug trafficking, the Interior Ministry said in a 
statement.

Matar bin Hussein bin Bakheit al-Khazaali, an Iraqi national, was executed 
in the northern town of Arar, after attempting to smuggle an undisclosed 
amount of hashish into the ultra-conservative kingdom, the statement 
carried by SPA official news agency said.

Meanwhile, Pakistani Mohammad Amin Abdullah Khan was beheaded in the Red 
Sea city of Jeddah after he was found smuggling an undisclosed amount of 
heroin "which he had swallowed".
