[PRESSTV] Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
has put to death row inmates, who had been convicted of murder and drug trafficking, bringing to 73 the number of executions in the oil-kingdom this year.

The state-run SPA news agency reported that two Saudi Arabian citizens and three nationals of Chad were executed on Tuesday after being sentenced to death for the abduction and murder of a Pak security guard. The quintet had purportedly sought to rob the warehouse the guard was watching over.

Another Saudi was beheaded for setting a man on fire and causing his death.

Moreover, a Lebanese national was executed for attempting to smuggle Captagon pills into the kingdom.

Captagon is a psychostimulant which is made of a combination of amphetamine and theophylline. It is highly addictive, and became illegal in most countries in 1986.

It also makes users feel energetic and happy, which is why it has been dubbed "chemical courage."
