Saudi forces shoot dead fighter

[demdave]

Saudi Arabian security forces have shot dead a suspected armed fighter and wounded another during a car chase in an eastern neighborhood of Riyadh.



"Security forces gave chase to a car carrying three suspected militants in the al-Rawdah neighborhood and exchanged fire with the suspects. One of the gunmen was killed and another wounded," a witness told AFP on Monday.

That list has gone down from 26 to 22 since it was issued by
authorities last December following a series of bombings in Riyadh that killed 52 people in May and November 2003.

"The chase began around 6:00 pm (15:00 GMT). Security patrols tried to stop the car at a crossroads in the district and an exchange of fire ensued"

Several suspects, as well as security personnel, have been killed in similar shootouts, particularly in the capital, since the attacks on residential compounds began.
