Saudi police exchanged fire in a Riyadh suburb Monday with suspects wanted in connection with a failed bid to blow up the world's largest oil-processing plant, the Al-Arabiya television channel reported.Sounds of automatic gunfire and grenades exploding could be heard in the residential suburb of Grenada, where the suspects were holed-up, the Dubai-based channel reported.
Suicide bombers attempted to penetrate the world's largest oil-processing plant at Abqaiq, in the oil-rich eastern province, on Friday but their attack was thwarted leaving two security men dead. The two would-be suicide bombers were also killed.
An Al-Qaeda statement posted on the Internet identified the two "martyrdom-seekers" in what the group claimed was a successful attack, vowing defiantly to attack more Saudi oil installations.
