Abdullah al-Nashri, a Yemeni man who killed three nuns from Mother Theresa's order, was executed by firing squad

Abdullah al-Nashri, a Yemeni man who killed three nuns from Mother Theresa's order, was executed by firing squad. Al-Nashri shot the three nuns in 1998 as they left a clinic for the disabled. He was executed in the city of Hodeidah, 138 miles west of the capital San'a. Police initially said al-Nashri was unstable. But in 2000, a court found him responsible for his actions and convicted him. He was sentenced to death in 2001.
