(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The United Arab Emirates executed a militant, Ala'a Badr Abdullah, for the killing of an American kindergarten teacher and attempting to bomb a residential compound building in Abu Dhabi.

This was announced by the state attorney, Ahmad Al-Dahnani, in a statement he made early on Monday.

Abdullah had become radicalized over the internet, spreading terrorist ideas and funding terrorist activities.

She had not been targeting Americans in particular, but was looking for any foreigner to kill at random. (end) hny.nfm
