RIYADH, Dec 30: Saudi security forces killed 10 suspected Al Qaeda militants during raids and shootouts in the past two days, including a gunman who is on the kingdom's most wanted list, the Interior Ministry said on Thursday.
A ministry statement read out on state television said three militants were killed on Tuesday while police shot dead seven on Wednesday after two suicide car bombs exploded in Riyadh.
The television named nine of the militants, who included Sultan Bejaad al-Oteibi - on a list of 26 most wanted militants issued by the kingdom last year. Security forces have now killed or arrested 18 of those on the list. State television showed graphic pictures of bloodied corpses, many missing limbs and with disfigured faces. -Reuters
