Saudis Kill "two Siege Suspects"

Saudi security forces have killed two suspected militants said to be linked to the weekend gun and hostage-taking rampage in Khobar that left 22 dead.
The two were hunted down in the remote Hada region of Taif in the west of the kingdom after they attacked troops.

In a separate incident in the capital Riyadh, two cars carrying US military training personnel were shot at.

The violence follows fresh threats by al-Qaeda to "cleanse" the Arabian peninsula of non-Muslims.


It is not clear how the men killed on Wednesday were linked to the carnage in Khobar, but Saudi-owned television station al-Arabiya said the pair were al-Qaeda gunmen.

Guns and ammunition were found on their bodies and one of them was disguised as a woman, al-Arabiya reported.
