Police kill Saudi âmost wantedâ
The Saudi authorities say security forces have shot dead a suspected Islamist militant in a gun battle at a petrol station in the capital, Riyadh. The interior ministry said Ibrahim al-Rayes was listed among 26 most wanted terror suspects last week. Security services said they attempted to arrest him after residents provided information as to his whereabouts. The authorities had offered a reward of more than $1m for the capture of any of the 26 suspects on the list. Guess somebodyâs gonna get paid. A statement by the interior ministry read on state television, said the security forces had shot al-Rayes after he opened fire on them. Thatâs handy, donât have to worry about any embarassing questions being answered. The statement said false identification papers, a hand grenade, ammunition and pistols had also been seized. Witnesses said three other people were also detained in the raid by the security forces. However the security forces have declined to comment on this. "We can say no more"
