 Saudi police killed a suspected terrorist and captured three others Tuesday in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah, west of Saudi Arabia, official sources said. A foreign ministry statement said the security forces captured one of the four suspects in the neighborhood of al-Jamia in central Jeddah and encircled the other three in a nearby house. "The gunmen opened fire at the security forces prompting them to return fire, killing one, wounding another while the third surrendered ... Two policemen were also injured in the clash," the statement said. It said police seized arms from the house, including automatic rifles and a large number of grenades and ammunition. | What, no escapes by "surrounded militants"? |
The Saudi daily al-Riyadh also reported Tuesday police arrested three people wanted for security violations in the northern region of al-Qassim. The paper quoted security sources as saying the suspects surrendered without resistance after a car chase by police on the highway linking al-Qassim with the capital, Riyadh. |
