"'Saudi militant killed in blast'"




ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Saudi Arabia says one of the kingdom's most wanted militants was among five suicide bombers killed in twin attacks on government targets in the past week.

The man was said to be Abdullah Saud al-Sebaie, who appears on a list of 26 most wanted militants allegedly linked to al-Qaeda.

He and two others died in an attack on the interior ministry on Wednesday, the ministry says.

Two others were killed when they bombed a special forces' recruitment base.

The interior ministry named four of the attackers, and said one had still to be identified."
