Wildfires broke out in several Middle Eastern countries in October 2020 amid a heat wave that was unusual for that time of the year, leaving Syria particularly hard-hit.
The execution took place by firing squad and was held in public, early in the morning in the rebel-held capital of Sanaa.
Attorney General Merrick Garland made the announcement saying he was imposing a moratorium on federal executions.
