   Saudi Forces kill 5 Abqaid Terrorists

 

Days after the bold bid to attack the largest Saudi processing facility in Abqaiq, security forces shot dead 5 suspected terrorists holed up in an upscale locality of capital Riyadh. Police said that they tracked the terrorist down based on surveillance camera footage taken minutes before the attack at Abqaiq. When the house they were hiding in was besieged, the occupants opened fire and the resultant 2-hour shootout left all residents dead. The Al Qaeda had taken responsibility for the incident on the facility that processes 2/3 of Saudi exports. Located in the majority Shia east, Abqaiq has been described by security strategists as "the most spectacular target." Although oil production has not been affected, prices have gone up by 10%. Security experts have warned of more attacks on oil and economic targets to puncture global economic growth.
