Saudi police kill two terrorists in Riyadh

Suspects opened fire on police after being surrounded in Yasmeen neighbourhood

Riyadh: Authorities in Saudi Arabia say police have shot and killed two suspected Daesh terrorists in the capital, Riyadh.

The Interior Ministry says the two suspected militants opened fire on Saturday on police after being surrounded in the capital's northern Yasmeen neighbourhood, forcing officers to return fire and kill them. It said one officer was slightly wounded.

The Interior Ministry published photos of explosive suicide vests, rifles and ammunition it said officers found. It also said material found inside the home the two men hid in suggests it was used to manufacture bombs.
