The execution of foreigners isn't an act of war. If you are convicted of a crime in a foreign nation--and if your government does nothing to extradite you and punish you locally--then you are subject to those laws.
The United States has executed over 20 foreigners since 1988; and Saudi Arabia has executed over 200.
