Saudi Police "Surround" Four Terror Suspects
2006-08-21
Riyadh, 21 August (AKI) - Saudi police on Monday surrounded four terror suspects in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, satellite broadcaster al-Arabiya reports. According to the network's reporter, who quoted local security sources, the four men are wanted in connection with Islamic terrorism. The police reportedly traced their presence to a residence in Jeddah which they have surrounded.

"Inhabitants of the building were evacuated as the operation is still under way," an interior ministry spokesman said. The spokesman said security forces had arrested seven suspects in Jeddah on Sunday, but so far there was no link between the arrests and Monday's siege.

"The seven that we arrested on Sunday are not on the wanted list but are being interrogated," he said.The Saudi police regularly prepare lists of 'most-wanted' terrorist suspects. It is not known whether the four men involved in Monday's standoff are on one of these lists. Police in the Kingdom have in the past eighteen months been involved in various gun battles - some of them lasting more than a day - with suspected Saudi militants.

#3  Wait 'em out. Eventually they'll "repent", and everybody can go home...

#1  With apologies to the "Religious Policeman".
Yep, they got 'em cornered.
The surrounding is complete.
But the only one to get nailed,
Is the one with bad feet.
