During operation Desert Storm a Christian man was beheaded for his  faith by Saudi officials in front of a group of U.S. soldiers. This  unidentified Saudi had been a Muslim and had converted to the  Christian faith. This conversion put him in violation of Saudi  Arabian law. As a consequence he was sentenced to be beheaded under  sharia, the strict Islamic law. The act of beheading was performed in  full view of a group of U.S. soldiers who were a part of the ongoing  Operation Desert Storm. The eyewitness we interviewed was not a  Christian at the time that he witnessed the beheading. He  subsequently became a believer in part due to what he had seen. He  explained to us that he felt the act of beheading was a deliberate  attempt to intimidate the U.S. soldiers who were present at that time.  This was an attempt to send a message of warning to those assembled.  This interview occurred over dinner at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida  circa 1996. Until this year we did not have the means to publish this  account and we stand by it.
