Two Saudi policemen were killed in the capital Riyadh in the early hours of Wednesday morning, state media reported, citing an unnamed police spokesman.

Shots were fired from an unidentified vehicle, killing the two officers.

The policemen were patrolling in their vehicle at 1:30 a.m. when the shots were fired, killing Thamer Amran al-Mutairi and Abdulmohsen Khalaf al-Mutairi. Last month two policemen were shot and injured in a similar attack in Riyadh, Reuters reported.

"He was shot in the shoulder" by someone who has not been identified, the report said.

"Investigations are ongoing," and the victim is in stable condition at hospital, it said.

In October, a Saudi-American former employee of a US defence contractor shot dead one American colleague and wounded another in Riyadh.

The suspect had recently been fired from his job, officials said.

That was the first deadly attack on Westerners in Saudi Arabia since several were killed in a wave of Al-Qaeda violence between 2003 and 2006.
