Abu Dhabi: An Iraqi teacher was executed in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, after he was convicted of killing two staff members of a private school in Riyadh and injuring a third, local media reported.
The man, an ex-employee of a Saudi private school shot dead two staff members and injured a third before he ran away.
