There was a book I read, I wish I could remember the title. But it was about one of King Faud (Saudia Arabia) many nieces. She told the story of her life to a journalist, who then wrote the book while trying to keep the identiity of the Princess secret. Good book to read.

If you search the Internet for countries that still use this form of execution you will see that Iran tries to tell us it is no longer used. Many other countries, Somalia for example, state very clearly that it is still practiced in their country.
