The Washington Post reported the execution, in an article by Carlyle Murphy on 1 October 1992. lieutenant was reported that he had been executed in Qateef on 3 September 1992, after having been convicted of throwing stones at a police car in 1988 and imprisoned for five years in Mababeth prison. During his imprisonment, he faced further charges that he had "insulted God, the Holy Quran and Prophet Muhammad."
Before his execution, he had appealed to two appeal courts, which upheld his conviction, as did King Fahd.
Because a Qateef judge alleged that he had smuggled a Bible into the country, his case is often misrepresented in the blogosphere as having been "executed for owning a Bible".
