RIYADH: Gunmen fired at two US citizens on Friday on a road in oil-rich Eastern Province, leaving one wounded, in the fourth anti-Western attack in Saudi Arabia in as many months, police said.
“At 2pm today... a car carrying two American nationals... came under fire from an unknown source, resulting in one of them being wounded and hospitalised,” said a police spokesman, quoted by the official SPA news agency. He was “in stable condition”.
The two Americans were travelling on a road in Shia-populated Al-Ihsaa governorate of eastern Saudi Arabia, he said.
