Three Saudi men have been sentenced to death for their role in one of the the country's largest terror cells, media reported Tuesday.
The Special Criminal Court in Riyadh awarded the death penalty to the three terror suspects Monday, the Saudi Gazette reported.
The court also sentenced 20 suspects to prison terms ranging from five to 25 years, in addition to a travel ban.
The charges against the convicts included kidnapping and killing a foreigner, armed confrontation with the security forces, embracing deviant ideology, joining Al Qaeda, disobedience of the ruler, making explosives and receiving training in the use of weapons.
The convicts can appeal the verdict within 30 days.
