Militants in Saudi attack escape
Ringleader in custody; death toll reaches 22
By Megan K. Stack, Los Angeles Times | May 31, 2004

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- After killing at least 22 civilians, most of them foreign, and trapping dozens of people in a 25-hour hostage standoff, three Islamist militants managed yesterday to steal a car, disappear into rush-hour traffic, and slip out of the grip of hundreds of Saudi commandos.

The men, who authorities said used hostages as human shields to escape, were still missing early this morning. Saudi security forces searched for the suspects around Khobar, an eastern oil hub and home to a vast community of foreign workers. One of the missing militants had been wounded fighting security forces, an official at the Ministry of Interior said.

AL-KHOBAR (AFP) - Gunmen killed 22 people in a weekend of violence, slitting the throats of nine foreigners, before three of the killers fled and a fourth was wounded and captured in this Saudi oil city, the interior ministry said Sunday.
The dead were listed as: eight Indians, three Filipinos, three Saudis, two Sri Lankans, one American, one Briton, an Italian, a Swede, one South African and one Egyptian, according to the official SPA news agency.



I must have missed something, yesterday they were saying the Saudis shot and stormed them all
