RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry says security forces have killed two militants before they were able to detonate a car bomb in the southwestern town of Bisha.
Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman Maj Gen Mansour al-Turki said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency late Friday that security forces tried to stop two cars but the drivers fled and took refuge in nearby mountains before one of the cars exploded.
Al-Turki said the two continued firing at security forces, but were eventually killed with the help of a helicopter gunship.

Vow, looks like our Police has started training the Saudi forces. No one from the security force hurt and all the criminals killed. Thats amazing.

@Dr Vimal how could they capture them alive when they're firing at police? They did what any law enforcement agency should have. Of course it ruins a chance to get leads on who dispatched them. Probably al Qaeda in Arabian peninsula - a serious regional problem

Saudi forces are ineffective and lazy. They depend on USA back support.

When Saudi became the biggest arms buyer of the world, their dependency on Pakistan for defending their lands evaporated, they are now self dependent and able to defend themselves against external and internal enemies.
