Saudi forces reportedly sustained losses as well as civilians in the battle area. Sounds of gunfire and exploding rockets and grenades rang through the Saudi capital. The fugitives were said to be tied to al Al QaidaÂ’s foiled attack Friday, Feb. 24, on the worldÂ’s biggest refinery at Abqaiq in the eastern province of Dammam which processes 7 million barrels of oil a day. Saudi guards shot up at least two suicide cars packed with explosives outside the gates of the complex. Al Qaeda threatens to continue hitting Saudi oil installations. |
