Arabia
Saudis Kill Militants Allegedly Tied to Khobar Attack
2004-06-02
Saudi security forces Wednesday killed two key militants with alleged ties to a shooting attack and hostage-taking in eastern Saudi Arabia that killed 22 people, the Interior Ministry said. A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, identified one of the dead as Abdul Rahman Mohammed Yazji, No. 25 on a list of Saudi Arabia’s 26 most-wanted militants. The other man could not be immediately identified.
"But he was a mean 'un! You betcha!"
The Saudi security official said the two militants opened fire from their car at a security checkpoint Tuesday evening. The ministry, in a statement reported by the official Saudi Press Agency, said security forces surrounded the two men in a remote area in al-Hada, on the Taif-Mecca highway in western Saudi Arabia, and killed them after they threw grenades and shot at the troops. The statement said one of the men was in drag disguised as a woman. It said there were no injuries among security forces. Police found weapons and ammunition, plus a number of cellular phones in the car the men were using, the official added.
