Hillary Clinton said Sunday Saudi Arabia's recent execution of 47 people, including Shia Muslim cleric Nimr al-Nimr raises "serious questions" that the U.S. needs to ask the country's government.<br />"Clearly this raises serious questions that we have to raise directly with the Saudi government," Clinton said in response to a Derry town hall question about how she would handle the situation as president.<br />The executions set off a series of condemnations from Shia Muslims, particularly those in predominantly Shia Iran, where protestors threw Molotov cocktails into the Saudi embassy in Tehran and looted the officers.<br />Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been outspoken about al-Nimr's execution, tweeting Sunday that "Divine revenge will seize Saudi politicians" for the "unfairly spilled blood of oppressed martyr #SheikhNimr."
