Looking for work ? You could be Saudi Arabia’s next executioner

Squeamish individuals needn't apply. If you’re up for travel and don’t mind a little bit of blood then we have found the job for you. The job advert on the o fficial  civil service jobs website says there’s no need for special qualifications and fortunate candidates would be ‘executing a judgement of death’. As somewhat bonus you’ll be ready to perform amputations on those guilty of lesser offences. Sadly, however, you may get on the lower pay scale. The usual method of execution is public beheading. And if proof was needed that the industry of beheading is expanding, just look at the figures.  Last year 88 people in were executed according to Saudi Arabia (Amnesty International says 90). There have been 85 already this year.
