re: the thread about Iran/Saudi tension,
another log added to the fire under cauldron...

"Amnesty International has said this case and the case of five other Shiite activists sentenced to death make it 'clear that the Saudi Arabian authorities are using the guise of counter-terrorism to settle political scores.' They called the trials unfair."

Iran, which supports Shiite fighters in Yemen who are clashing with a Saudi-backed force there, strongly condemned the executions.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossein Jaberi Ansari
also said that Saudi Arabia will "pay dearly" for it actions,
according to the Islamic Republic News Agency.
