October 21, 2024:

Two Saudis were executed on October 21, 2024 for committing acts of terrorism in the country, the Ministry of Interior announced.
The two citizens, Khalid bin Muhammad bin Talal Al-Shahrani and Omar bin Dhafar bin Ali Al-Shahrani, committed multiple acts of terrorism, including joining a terrorist entity, collaborating with its members, financing terrorism, and participating in terrorist acts that resulted in the deaths of several security personnel.
The duo used weapons and suicide belts to target security facilities, backed by a terrorist ideology that 'justified shedding blood and violating the sanctity of property and honour, aiming to disrupt the security and stability of society'.
The two individuals were sentenced to death after being referred to the Public Prosecution, where charges were brought against them for these acts. This ruling became final after being appealed and upheld by the Supreme Court.
The death sentence was carried out on October 21 in Riyadh.
