Trying To Hide Their Family Secrets
The Saudi family really doesn’t like bad press. The ruling family spent $500 million trying to prevent the production of a documentary. In 1976, King Khaled’s grandniece Princess Mishaal was killed for falling in love with a man whom her family didn’t accept. The Princess was shot fatally and her lover was beheaded…how gory.
Change Of Plans
It may come as a surprise but beheadings are actually still the form of execution preferred in Saudi Arabia. However, the country is mulling over switching to firing squads, not because beheading people is quite inhumane, but because of the lack of skilled swordsmen to carry out the task. We’ll give you some time to let the idea sink in.
