Saudi beheaded for murder RIYADH: A Saudi man convicted of murder was beheaded by the sword yesterday in the capital of the Gulf Arab monarchy, the interior ministry announced. The ministry, in a statement carried by state news agency SPA, said Mosfer bin Mubrak Al-Qahtani had shot dead a fellow Saudi, wounded a number of other people, and damaged homes and cars. The beheading in Riyadh brings to at least 36 the number of executions in Saudi Arabia this year. At least 83 were put to death in 2005 and 35 the year before. Executions are generally carried out in public in the oil-rich kingdom, which applies a strict form of Islamic law. The death penalty is applied for murder, rape, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking. Hamas gunmen wound four KHAN YOUNIS: Hamas gunmen opened fire on demonstrators from the rival Fatah movement yesterday, wounding four people in the first sign of factional violence following the deaths of three children in a drive-by shooting, officials said. The killings of the three small boys, whose car was riddled with bullets as they rode to school in Gaza City, sparked widespread rage, grief and soul-searching in the Palestinian areas. Demonstrations erupted throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip, children stayed home from school and stores were shuttered to protest the violence. Palestinians protest in Jordan AMMAN: Dozens of Jordan-based Palestinian civil servants yesterday held a brief and peaceful protest outside the Palestinian embassy in Amman demanding their salaries be paid. Around 60 protesters holding up Palestinian flags as well as pictures of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat demonstrated outside the embassy in western Amman, an AFP photographer said. They also held up signs saying "we have a right to live in dignity" and "no to hunger, no to blockades". The demonstrators met with the Palestinian ambassador and gave him a letter of grievances for Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, an embassy spokesman said. +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
