RIYADH, 29 October — A Palestinian, who burnt his father to death after an argument, was executed in Jeddah yesterday. The Interior Ministry said in a statement that the man, identified as Emad ibn Ali ibn Hasan Al-Deeb, doused his elderly father with an inflammable liquid and then set him alight. On Sunday, the authorities amputated the right hand of an Afghan man, Ghulam Khan, after he was found guilty of picking the pockets of worshippers at the Grand Mosque in Makkah.
