RIYADH: A Saudi national wanted for his alleged role in an April attack that left four policemen dead has been killed in a security operation, the Saudi interior ministry said on Monday.
Khaled al-Shehri had refused to surrender to security forces who had raided his family home on Saturday in the southern province of Asir, state-run Saudi Press Agency quoted a ministry official as saying. He threatened the police with a knife and was shot dead, the ministry source added.
Four Saudi policemen were killed and four others wounded on April 20 in an attack targeting a checkpoint in Asir province. The kingdom has seen numerous attacks in recent years by jihadists, including al-Qaeda and Islamic State group, against security forces.
