Kuwait hangs seven people including royal
KUWAIT CITY (AFP) -
Kuwait on Wednesday hanged seven people including a member of the ruling family and a woman who burned dozens of people to death during a wedding party, state media said.
They are the first executions in the oil-rich Gulf state since mid-2013.
Those executed included two Kuwaitis, two Egyptians and one each from Bangladesh, the Philippines and Ethiopia, the KUNA state news agency reported, citing a source at the public prosecution.
Sheikh Faisal Abdullah Al-Sabah, the first royal to be executed in the emirate, was convicted of killing another member of the ruling family in 2010 over a dispute.
Nusra al-Enezi, the other Kuwaiti, was convicted of setting fire to a tent in 2009 during a wedding party for her husband, killing around 57 people, many of them women and children.
It was an apparent act of revenge against her husband for taking a second wife.
