It sounds like a scene from a grisly horror film ... five decapitated bodies swinging from a horizontal pole suspended over the main square in the city of Jijzan in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Beside each body hangs a plastic bag containing the victim's head. Yards away, students are arriving at a local university to take their exams.
