RIYADH:
The United Arab Emirates executed a woman early Monday for the killing of an American kindergarten teacher in December 2014, the state news agency WAM reported.
Ala’a Badr Abdullah al-Hashemi, 31, was sentenced to death a year ago for stabbing Romanian-born Ibolya Ryan, a mother of 11-year-old twins, in the toilet of an Abu Dhabi shopping mall and attempting to bomb an American-Egyptian doctor.
Hashemi was also convicted of setting up a social media account to spread militant ideology with the intention of undermining the government and of giving money to militant organisations for attacks, WAM reported.
The report did not disclose how Hashmei was executed.
