Saudi security officer killed in Unayzah shootout
RIYADH - A Saudi security officer was killed Wednesday and eight hurt in a shootout with wanted militants, two of whom were captured, the interior ministry announced.

"One security officer was martyred while eight of his comrades were injured" during a shootout at a house in Al-Qadissiyah quarter in the town of Unayzah, 370 kilometers (230 miles) north of Riyadh, the official SPA news agency quoted a ministry spokesman as saying.

Five men were arrested, "two of whom are wanted for security-related matters and belong to the deviant group," SPA said, using a term referring to Al-Qaeda sympathizers in Saudi Arabia.
