The beheading of a gang leader in Saudi Arabia raised the number of executions carried out this year to 44, already more than half the total for 2014.
Mansour bin Habeeb bin Mahdi Khalfan, a Saudi, was put to death on March 12 in the kingdom's eastern region after having been convicted of "leading a gang" dealing in hashish, money laundering and forged documents, the interior ministry said.
According to an AFP tally, Khalfan was the 44th local or foreigner executed this year in Saudi Arabia.
