A Yemeni man who killed three nuns from Mother Theresa’s order was executed on Wednesday by firing squad, security officials said.

Abdullah al-Nashri shot the three nuns in 1998 as they left a clinic for the disabled. One nun came from the Philippines, the other two from India.

Police initially said al-Nashri was unstable. But in 2000, a court found him responsible for his actions and convicted him.
