Wanna buy a truckload of AKs? Whoops.
Saudi authorities in the southern province of Najran foiled 'a large operation to sell (illegal) weapons," last Thursday, a statement by the ministry issued Monday said. The authorities traced Saeed bin Faraj Al-Mihri, a Saudi national, as he was trying to sell a truck load of Kalashnikov rifles and ammunition in Najran, some 800 kilometers (500 miles) south of the capital, the statement said. Al-Mihri received 135,000 riyals ($36,000) for the 100 rifles and the ammunition. But he was encircled as he was working out the deal, and fired at the police, hitting one police vehicle. Al-Mihri was shot and died of his wounds in the hospital.
