Saudi police killed four terrorists believed linked to al-Qaida after the militants fled their desert tent Sunday while throwing hand grenades at surrounding forces, the Interior Ministry said. Authorities asked the militants to surrender after surrounding their tent in Nafoud Thoweirat, a remote town north of Zilfi province, some 170 miles north of the Saudi capital Riyadh, the ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency. But the militants refused and tried to flee in a car while hurling hand grenades, the statement said. The four were killed by the police at about 7:30 a.m. Three Saudi security personnel were slightly injured.| "Cheeze, Mahmoud! It's the cops!" "Bring forth the Holy Hand Grenade™!" |
