Saudi executes Yemeni over Spanish theatre group stabbing
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
The man, identified as Imad al-Mansouri, had been sentenced to death for the November 11 attack during a live performance in Riyadh, which state media linked to militant group Al-Qaeda and which Madrid said left four performers wounded.

The assailant was accused of going on a stabbing spree during a musical in the capital’s King Abdullah Park, one of the venues hosting the two-month “Riyadh Season” entertainment festival.

It was the first such assault since the country began easing restrictions on entertainment.

The state-run Al-Ekhbariya television said the attacker took orders from an Al-Qaeda leader in Yemen, but so far there has been no claim of responsibility from the group.

#1 "a live performance in Riyadh."

Things have changed! When I was in Riyadh (mid 90s), plays, theater, and movies were strictly forbidden. Period. Wow.
