Saudi Arabia beheaded a Pakistani man convicted of heroin smuggling Tuesday, the Interior Ministry said, bringing to four the number executed in two weeks.

Mohammed Gul Rahma was executed in Qatif in the kingdom’s oil-rich Eastern Province, the official SPA news agency reported, citing the Interior Ministry.

Rahma “was caught smuggling a large quantity of heroin,” SPA said.

Three other Pakistanis found guilty of heroin smuggling have also been beheaded this month, two of them in the Eastern Province.
