RIYADH (Reuters) - A U.S.
national was shot dead in the
Saudi capital Riyadh on Saturday
in the sixth attack on Westerners
in six weeks, security and
diplomatic sources said.

"The victim is believed to be an American male. There has been a shooting
death," a U.S. embassy spokeswoman said.

Witnesses said the man was shot inside his car as he parked in front of his
house in the Maathar district. "There were bullet holes in the rear window
of the car and the driver's window was also shattered," one witness said.

Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television said police were chasing suspects in the
east of the city. Saudi security sources said earlier they believed the dead
man was British. The British embassy was unable to confirm that report.
