Saudi executes man for murders, kidnapping, joining foreign terrorist group

Saudi Arabia has carried out the execution of a citizen convicted of severe crimes, including terrorism, murder, and kidnapping. The Kingdom’s Ministry of Interior announced on Monday, October 27, 2025, that Jamal bin Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Mubarak was sentenced to death following a series of heinous acts. His crimes involved shooting at security officers and vehicles, participating in kidnappings and murders, and harboring individuals responsible for these acts. Additionally, Al-Mubarak was found guilty of possessing, transporting, and smuggling weapons and explosives for terrorist purposes, as well as joining a foreign terrorist organization aimed at undermining Saudi Arabia’s security. After his arrest, a thorough investigation led to formal charges, and the competent court issued a death sentence. The ruling was upheld by the relevant authority, and a royal order was issued to execute the sentence. The execution took place in the Eastern Province on the same day. This case underscores Saudi Arabia’s stringent stance against terrorism and its commitment to maintaining national security.
