A Saudi securityman was killed at dawn Sunday and another was wounded after their car came under fire by unidentified men ‏‏along one of the main roads in the outskirts of Riyadh. 

 

The Saudi Al-Riyadh daily said Monday that the two men asked a driver of a suspicious jeep to stop but he opened fire, and then fled the scene.‏ This incident came following Khobar attack, which left 22 dead, most of them foreigners. 

 

Meanwhile, the British ambassador to Saudi Arabia warned Monday ‏that another attack in Saudi Arabia was "probable." Sherard Cowper-Coles told BBC radio that diplomats were trying to establish ‏‏if a second Briton died in the siege in the city of Khobar.‏ (Albawaba.com)
