The Saudi Kingdom's Leading Executioner
(Arab News-Saudi Arabia) Mahmoud Ahmad - Saudi Arabia's leading executioner Muhammad Saad Al-Beshi will behead up to seven people in a day. "It doesn't matter to me: Two, four, 10 - As long as I'm doing God's will, it doesn't matter how many people I execute," he said in a newspaper interview. When executing women he will use either gun or sword. "It depends what they ask me to use," he adds. An executioner's life, of course, is not all killing. Sometimes it can be amputation of hands and legs. Al-Beshi describes himself as a family man. "My family...aren't afraid when I come back from an execution. Sometimes they help me clean my sword."
