REEM ISLAND GHOST: ALAA BADER ABDULLAH (EXECUTED BY FIRING SQUAD ON JULY 13, 2015)

            In June 2015, the Federal Supreme Court sentenced an Emirati woman, Alaa Bader al-Hashemi, to death for the murder of Ibolya Ryan and planting a handmade bomb in an Egyptian-American doctor's home in Abu Dhabi. The woman committed the crime in December 2014 and was executed at dawn on July 13, 2015. This is the only time that a prisoner has been executed within such a short time frame and this is the one of the few cases of a woman being executed.

            Let us not forget Ibolya Ryan, a Romanian American Teacher from Colorado who was murdered in Abu Dhabi on December 1, 2014. Justice was swift and sure as the killer, was executed by firing squad on July 13, 2015, only 7 months after the crime.
