 RIYADH: Two members of Saudi Arabia's security forces were wounded in an exchange of fire with gunmen at a checkpoint in the east of the capital Riyadh on Monday, a security source said. The clash took place after their car failed to stop at the checkpoint, the source said. Government officials were not immediately available to confirm the shooting. Saudi Arabia has been battling militants loyal to Saudi-born Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda network, who have staged several bloody attacks on foreign residents, government sites and energy-industry installations in the last two years. |
