An Indian national in Saudi Arabia has been killed by stray bullets during a security operation targeting a wanted Bahraini terrorist in the eastern province of the kingdom, Indian officials said on Wednesday.
Mohammad Owais, from Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh, was killed and three others injured when stray bullets entered the room they were staying during the exchange of firing between security forces and a terror suspect, an Indian embassy official said.
The police had gone to arrest terror suspect Ali Mohamoud Ali Abdullah, a Bahraini national who was involved in a number of terrorist acts, after he was spotted at a farm in Al-Awamiyyah town yesterday, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Saudi police shoot dead Bahraini suspect in restive town Gunfire was still sounding in the Gulf coast community Tuesday evening, a witness told AFP. He reported black smoke hanging over the town from tires burned in the streets by residents. The interior ministry spokesman said that when officers raided a farm in Awamiya the suspect “opened fire and the situation was responded to, resulting in his death. In his possession was an automatic weapon and pistol.” In an unusual move, the interior ministry released a photo of Abdullah wearing a baseball cap sideways on his head. “Available evidence showed he participated in committing a number of terrorist crimes, destabilising securityy and public order in Qatif,” the spokesman said, referring to the surrounding Shia-dominated region.
