Car Used in Terror Operation Discovered
|
Police have found a car used by terrorists to flee after shooting dead an American citizen here last month. Security officials discovered the silver Lexus 2002 next to a furnished apartment building in A-Nahda neighborhood northeast of Riyadh at around 1 p.m. Tuesday during a combing operation, Al-Madinah newspaper reported. A man found standing next to the car was detained for questioning. Police searched the car for explosives and found nothing. The car with plate number 523 was also linked to incidents in Al-Fayha and Al-Quds neighborhoods of Riyadh. A terrorist suspect used the car to escape after engaging in a gunfight with police in the area. The car's license plate, which originally belonged to a Mitsubishi car, was stolen and was used to mislead police, the paper said, quoting police sources.
Gunmen killed 40-year-old Robert Jacob in a shooting incident in the capital on June 9. Witnesses said Jacob was shot by three gunmen who followed him from a nearby clinic to his villa and fled the area in a Lexus car. Jacob was an employee of the US defense contractor Vinnell Corporation, which trains the National Guard. Police officer Ghadeer Al-Qahtani who chased the assailants was also killed by the gunmen.
