Attack on Saudi police sets pipeline ablaze
[Al Ahram] An attack by gunnies on Saudi police patrolling a Shiite village in oil-rich Eastern Province on Tuesday maimed one policeman and caused a pipeline to catch fire, an official said. The patrol came under "heavy gunfire" in Awamiya, scene of past festivities between Shiite protesters and security forces in the Sunni-dominated kingdom, police front man Colonel Ziad al-Ruqaiti said. The dawn attack triggered a "limited fire at a nearby pipeline," while a policeman was shot in his leg, he said, without specifying the significance of the pipeline. Posted by: Fred 2014-09-04 |
