In Kuwait, a royal family prince has been hanged in punishment for murder. Sheikh Faisal Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah was among seven people executed for serious crimes in Kuwait, the first executions in the gulf state since 2013. Kuwaiti State news agency KUNA reported that Faisal's crime was premeditated murder and possession of a firearm and ammunition without a license.<br/><br/> Al-Sabah was found guilty of shooting and killing his nephew, Sheikh Basel Salem Sabah Al Salem Al Sabah, in 2010. Witnesses say that Basel, who was wheelchair-bound and Faisal's junior by twenty years, was shot 5-7 times by Al-Sabah. Basel was the grandson of Sabah III, the emir of Kuwait in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a distant cousin of Sabah IV, the present emir. During the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Basel extensively aided the Kuwaiti resistance, to the point that Iraq placed him on their most wanted list.
