| Saudi police station attacker shot dead |
RIYADH A gunman was killed during an attack on a police station as four Saudi policemen were wounded in a separate assault on their patrols in the kingdom’s east, state media reported.
“Four masked gunmen on motorbikes entered Al Awamiya police centre where one of them threw a petrol bomb while the rest opened fire at the station,” interior ministry spokesman Mansur Al Turki said, quoted by SPA news agency.
Turki said the security forces would not tolerate “rioters, especially those who are armed,” and would hold responsible anyone who does not help in handing them over or offers them refuge.
In a separate statement on SPA, the spokesman announced that “two security forces’ patrols came under gunfire from masked armed men on motorbikes in the town of Saihat, wounding four members of the security forces.”
Clerics urged youths to “steer away from violence” and not to “respond to some who try to provoke you and lure you to violence to mark your movement as terrorist.”
