View photo Saudi women are required to cover up from head to toe, often with only their eyes exposed (AFP Photo/Fayez Nureldine) Riyadh (AFP) - Saudi Arabia executed on Wednesday a man who donned womens clothing in a bid to escape after shooting dead a soldier and police officer, state media said. Salih bin Yateem bin Salih al-Qarni was beheaded in the southwestern city of Abha, the official Saudi Press Agency said. Qarni was intially arrested on other charges and was transported in an official vehicle by the soldier and a member of the Muttawa religious police. He shot them with a gun that he was carrying, the SPA said, without explaining how he obtained the weapon. After stealing the keys from the security officer driving the vehicle, Qarni chewed some narcotic qat and disguised himself in womens clothing in an attempt to flee, but was recaptured, it said. Saudi women are required to cover from head to toe, often with only their eyes exposed. The report did not say when the escape bid occurred. Qarni is the latest of 69 Saudis and foreigners executed in the kingdom this year, despite international concern. Rape, murder, apostasy, drug trafficking and armed robbery are all punishable by death under the kingdoms strict version of Islamic sharia law. 606 Comments My Comments Popular Now Newest Oldest Most Replied Caroline Caroline 2 hours ago 2 24 Many criminals is islamic countries take advantage of the cover-all womens clothing to hide their identity as they commit crimes. All it takes for a bomber to board a plain is the pretend he is a woman, and no one will dare ask to see his/her face. After all, that is against the islamic religion. At the extremely busy Istanbul airport passport control point, all people were told to remove their glasses and hats and look into the camera in order to match their photo to the one in their passports, EXCEPT the Saudi ninja women. They were allowed to keep their faces covered. I call this a plane bombing waiting to happen. Anyone can be hiding under that garbage bag that the ninjas wear.

Not endless pages of copy about his last meal and how he wanted his brother there as a witness so we held the thing up? ( Only to be rebuffed by his bro. Cant make it! ) No commentary about how left handed swingers of the blade are not as efficient as right handed ones when beheading and that the knife should have a better handle. So the makers of the handles are refusing to ship because it would amount to helping what is deemed cruel and unusual punishment? Oh, alright then.

I do however agree with their form of justice. I guess I cant have it both ways. I wish the USA worked that quickly. Too many bleeding hearts here. Salaam...........If it werent for my family here in the US and my age and I would love to be working back at King Faisal. I miss the staff nurses I worked with there and mostly the children and the families I took care of. Its not what you see on TV. All governments suck. The Saudi people are just like us in the US and every where else in the world. If all of us could change our governments how blessed would our world be? More Expand Replies (1) Reply ROBW.

There are even some police departments where the officers don masks. I dont like seeing this....its like they feel that they have to conceal their identity to perpetrate evil deeds. The terrorists in these middle east countries have probably been dressing as women for some time in order to avoid apprehension. The only justifiable reason I can think of to hide your face is if you have a disfigurement that makes you uncomfortable in the public eye otherwise I think you are a criminal trying not to be identified.

APOSTASY: abandonment of ones religious faith, a political party, ones principals or a cause. Under sharia law, (you know, the strict version as opposed to the relaxed version), rape, murder, apostasy,drug traff and armed robbery are all punishable by death. Our corrupt politicians and elitists sure do get to dodge the death sentences every day dont they?
