Saudi Arabia: two men beheaded for raping man


December 26, 2008: Two Saudis were beheaded by the sword in Saudi Arabia after being convicted of raping a man, the interior ministry said.

The beheadings in the capital Riyadh bring to 100 the total number of executions this year in the ultra-conservative Gulf kingdom.
