Iran protested sharply, since one of the exectuted was a high ranking Shiite cleric. I know, I know, the Saudis are our friends and Iran is bad. But I wonder why noonne said something about the Saudis breaking up diplomatic relations with Iran. I couldn't even find a single english link. Only German and Austrian ones. But here's the story on the killing spree that happened yesterday.

Quote:However, it also detained hundreds of members of its Shi’ite minority after protests in 2011-13, during which several policemen were killed in shooting and petrol bomb attacks. Several of those held had been sentenced to death.
