Original Note:
While in Saudi Arabia beheading is a common form of capital punishment and the act is sometimes made in public, the picture does not show a Saudi execution, but the ISIS executioner Abu Sayyaf in Mosul, Iraq, sometime during the reign of the Islamic State. https://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-east/isis-executioner-who-beheaded-hundreds-killed-in-ambush-in-iraq https://english.alarabiya.net/features/2017/01/31/How-ISIS-executioner-known-for-decapitating-100-heads-die https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Saudi_Arabia
