Saudi Arabia: Bisha shoot-out

Two suspects linked to attacks claimed by Islamic State (IS or Daesh) were killed, and another alleged jihadist, named as Oqab Al-Otaibi, was arrested in south-western Bisha province, Ministry of Interior spokesman Major General Mansour Al-Turki said on 1 May. Security personnel killed the two men on 29 April in an exchange of gunfire during a chase to thwart an “imminent” attack, Turki said in a televised statement. Turki said explosive belts and machine guns were found the men’s car.
