Saudi Arabia executes prince in rare royal death sentence

Saudi Arabia says it has executed a prince who fatally shot another man in a fight, a rare death sentence carried out against a member of the kingdom's extensive royal family.

The Interior Ministry said it had executed Prince Turki bin Saud bin Turki bin Saud al-Kabeer in Riyadh. It did not describe how the sentence was carried out, although the Sunni-ruled kingdom often beheads the condemned in public.
