Two wanted militants killed
RIYADH, July 3: Two militants named on Saudi Arabia's most-wanted list were killed in clashes with security forces last April, the interior ministry announced on Saturday.
Rakan Mohsin Mohammed al-Saikhan and Nasser bin Rashid al-Rashid, respectively numbers two and 17 on the list, were killed in a shoot-out with police on April 12, the official SPA news agency reported the ministry as saying.
They were gunned down in a neighbourhood in eastern Riyadh, it added.
The Saudi authorities published a list of most-wanted radicals in December 2003, in the wake of two attacks on compounds housing foreigners that left 52 people dead and many others injured.-AFP
