Saudi border guards killed in attack
Attackers have killed two Saudi Arabian border guards and injured another near the country’s border with Iraq in a shooting and suicide assault, the Saudi Interior Ministry said.
The attackers opened fire on a border patrol near the city of Arar on early on Monday, the ministry said.
When security officers responded, one of the attackers was captured and detonated an explosives belt, the ministry added in a brief statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.
It said another attacker was killed by security forces but did not specify the number of assailants.
Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan, covering the conflict in Iraq, said the attack was likely to be carried out by fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), that controls large parts of Iraq and Syria.
