Do countries that implement the death penalty only do it to their own citizens?

Why did I ask this question?
We don't have the death penalty in our country and I want to know if I can get this sentence if I go to a country where this penalty is applied and commit a crime. Excuse my curiosity and sorry if I said something wrong, English is not my native language

To the best of my knowledge there is only [b]one[/b] case where a person other than citizen of the country(India) was given death penalty.

The Supreme(Apex) Court upheld the death sentence of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack convict Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, saying that waging war against the country was the primary and foremost offence committed by the Pakistani terrorist.

Kasab along with nine other Pakistani terrorists had landed in south Mumbai on November 26, 2008 night after travelling from Karachi (Pakistan) by sea and had gone on a shooting spree at various city landmarks, in which 166 people were killed.

While Kasab was captured alive, the other terrorists in his group were killed by security forces during the counter-terror operations.

@ABCDEF7 No sorry your mistaken there's been plenty of countries where this happens (I have a friend whose Chinese and in his country Drug Traffickers simply disappear - they are known to be shot at dawn)

@senghenydd It took 4 years to prosecute a terrorist in India, even when there were all evidences against him.
