Riyadh: Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry said authorities beheaded a Saudi man convicted of molesting a child and leaving him in the desert to die.
According to a ministry statement on Sunday, Falih bin Miflih was beheaded in Unayzah town in Al Qasim province.
Saudi Arabia follows a strict interpretation of Islam under which people convicted of murder, drug trafficking, rape and armed robbery can be executed - usually with a sword.
According to an Associated Press count, the execution brought the number of beheadings in the kingdom this year to 42. Last year, 102 people were beheaded.

This is in reply to neelima post. She thinks that in Saudi Arabia it is a jungle law. If anybody does capital crime they just catch him/her and chop their heads. Please understand it is not the way you think. The criminal goes under rigrous trial. They collect witnesses based on solid proof. It goes to Supreme Court then finally it goes to the King for his signature. The King then tries to check if victimes family agree for forgiveness and if not then the beheading is taken place.

Your all Islaamic countries are great. They treat woman and criminal alike. A man can marry even six years old. What a law?
