The wealthy Gulf country, with one of the world's highest execution rates, has been the target of a series of deadly ISIS shootings and bombings since late 2014.
"Mohammed al-Saddam, a Yemeni national, sought to target civilian gatherings at a public facility under the instructions of the Daesh terrorist organisation," the interior ministry said in a statement, referring to ISIS by its Arabic acronym.
"The death sentence was carried on Monday in the city of Riyadh."
