Saudi Arabia has executed two people on terrorism-related charges, bringing the total number of executions in the kingdom this year to at least 100, according to an AFP tally.
The Ministry of Interior said the two Saudis were executed for their involvement in acts of “terrorism”, including joining a “terrorist organization” and attending training camps abroad, where they learned to make explosives.
“After being referred to the competent court, a decision was issued confirming the charges against them and ordering their execution as punishment,” it added.
Of the 100 people executed this year, 59 were convicted of drug-related offences, including 43 foreigners, according to AFP.
