Prince Turki bin Saud al-Kabeer was put to death in the capital, Riyadh, according to a report by the Saudi state news service. The thousands of members of the royal family enjoy perks not available to the rest of the country's 20 million citizens. It was unclear how many people watched the execution of Prince Turki yesterday or what their immediate reaction was. That genealogy earned Prince Turki no extra credit with the courts or with the king, Prince Faisal said. According to Saudi reports, Prince Turki shot a man during "a group fight" that occurred a few years ago.
