Saudi police pursuing three terror suspects
Three suspects who were being pursued by Saudi security in the holy city of Makkah after killing a fourth managed to escape, security sources said yesterday.
| Hmmm... That's never happened before, has it? |
The sources said that the suspect who was killed on Wednesday after he threw a hand grenade at police forces was identified as Saleh Mohammed Al Badrani, 35. Al Badrani was not included on the list of 26 most wanted terrorist suspects but he was wanted by the interior ministry for involvement in planning terrorist attacks, the security sources said. The sources said Al Badrani was killed after covering the three other suspects who were with him, allowing them to escape. Witnesses said police forces have set up checkpoints at all the city's entrances and main roads. The area of the attack was still cordoned off.
