Four Saudi men were executed in Najran on Monday after being convicted of drug trafficking, the Interior Ministry said.
Brothers Hadi and Awad Al-Motleq and their accomplices Mufarraj and Ali al-Yami were found to have smuggled "a large quantity of hashish" into the Kingdom, the ministry said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency.
The beheadings raise to 32 the number of executions announced in the country so far this year, according to an AFP tally.
Last year, there were 78 executions in the Kingdom.
