Saudi police killed three gunmen in al-Riyadh
Saudi Arabia, Local, 12/29/2004

Saudi security sources said that the Saudi police killed three gunmen in a fire exchange to the east of the capital Riyadh.

These sources said that the security forces closed all roads leading to the region where the clashes took place. But the sources did not explain if the killed men are on the list of the 26 most wanted by the Saudi authorities over having links to al-Qaida organization.

In December 2003, this list was issued and during the few past months most of them were announced either killed or arrested.

The Saudi authorities accuse those persons of being responsible for a series of attacks that took place in the Kingdom during the past 18 months and targeted foreign interests in particular and this resulted in killing more than 100 persons.
