According to Saudi Arabia, an extremist convicted of killing a policeman while on duty and shooting at security patrols was executed.

The convict, identified as Mohammed bin Abdulrazaq from Saudi Arabia, had also set an oil installation on fire with the intention of blowing it up, possessed weapons and ammunition as well as embraced a radical ideology supporting terror acts and glorifying their perpetrators, according to the kingdom's Interior Ministry.

His death sentence was approved by a royal order after he was arrested.

The convict was executed on Saturday in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, according to the ministry without specifying when the attacks occurred.

A Saudi man was executed in Jeddah on Saturday after he was convicted of kidnapping, sexually assaulting minors, and harming them, the Saudi news agency SPA reported.

According to the ministry, Omar bin Abdullah was convicted and sentenced to death, which was upheld by the Appeal and Supreme Courts.

The death penalty is applied in Saudi Arabia to convicts convicted of terrorism, murder, and drug trafficking.

Last week, the Interior Ministry announced the execution of four men, including three from one family, convicted of murdering a Saudi man after breaking into his apartment, kidnapping him and beating him to death. The motive for the murder was not given.

The four were arrested, given final death sentencing that was approved by a royal order.

They were executed on Wednesday in Al Baha city in south-western Saudi Arabia.
