SAUDI ARABIA EXECUTES IRAQI FOR DRUG SMUGGLING

RIYADH - Saudi Arabia, which implements strict Islamic sharia law, executed
an Iraqi man on Sunday for smuggling hashish into the kingdom, the Interior
Ministry said.

The conservative Gulf state executes murderers, rapists and drug smugglers,
usually by public beheading.

The execution raised to at least three the number of people reported to
have been put to death in the kingdom so far this year. At least 45 people
were executed last year, 75 people in 2001 and 121 in 2000.
