The crime of executing Sheikh Nimr is part of a criminal pattern by this treacherous family.

A prominent cleric with close links to Iran�s ruling establishment denounced the execution on Saturday of a Saudi Shi�ite cleric and predicted the repercussions would bring down the Saudi ruling family.

�I have no doubt that this pure blood will stain the collar of the House of Saud and wipe them from the pages of history,� Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, a member of the Assembly of Experts and a Friday prayer leader, was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

�The crime of executing Sheikh Nimr is part of a criminal pattern by this treacherous family � the Islamic world is expected to cry out and denounce this infamous regime as much as it can,� he added.
