#2 BBC sez:
AFP news agency quoted the security official as saying Saudis and Iranians had been at the suspected al-Qaeda meeting.

"We are still unsure if two of the top leaders have been killed or not," Reuters news agency quoted him as saying. "One of them is the Saudi al-Qaeda member Nasser al-Weheshi."
