RIYADH, July 29: Saudi Arabia has executed a man convicted of a string of deadly terrorist crimes, including manufacturing and supplying explosives, plotting to kill security personnel, and financing extremist groups.
Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Hassan Al Hammadi, a Saudi national, was put to death on Tuesday in the Eastern Province after the Supreme Court upheld a discretionary death sentence issued by the Kingdom’s counter-terror court. According to the Ministry of Interior, Al Hammadi was found guilty of joining terrorist organizations and orchestrating attacks that aimed to destabilize society, disrupt public order, and kill law enforcement officers.
Authorities said he was also involved in the production and transport of explosive materials, and provided weapons and explosives to known terrorist elements. He was accused of harboring suspects and funding extremist operations.
Security forces eventually arrested Al Hammadi, and following a detailed investigation, he was referred to the judiciary. The verdict was upheld at multiple levels of appeal, and a royal decree ordered the sentence to be carried out in accordance with Islamic Sharia law.
In a strongly worded statement, the Interior Ministry emphasized the Kingdom’s commitment to upholding national security. It warned that anyone attempting to endanger innocent lives or incite terror would face severe consequences.
“The government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is determined to ensure the safety of its people and will implement the laws of Islamic Sharia on those who spill innocent blood or threaten public peace,” the statement read.
The ministry also cited several Quranic verses condemning corruption and violence on earth, reinforcing the theological basis behind the decision.
The execution is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader strategy to confront terrorism with zero tolerance and send a strong message to would-be offenders that such crimes will not go unpunished.
