"We are ready to sacrifice our lives for the nation," said Staff Sergeant Muhammad Al-Assaf, who was injured in a blast at the Road Security Building in Mahasin district in Al-Ahsa on Thursday. Al-Assaf, who is a native of Al-Uyoon, sustained injuries on his hand. His condition is stable, sources told Okaz. Speaking from his hospital bed, Al-Assaf said he was with his colleagues in the Road Security Building when they heard gunfire. "We rushed out to check the source of the sound. There was random firing from several places. I could not determine the source. Despite the heavy traffic on the road, I was able to deal with the incident. I am fine." Umm Saad Al-Assaf, the wife of the injured security man, said she was worried after receiving telephone calls from her brother and her sister's husband asking about Al-Assaf. She expressed pride at her husband's heroic act. Al-Assaf's daughter, studying in the third year secondary school, said she will go to school with her head high with pride. Two terror attempts were foiled by alert security men this weekend. Saudi authorities foiled a car bombing attempt in a shootout that killed two suspects in Asir in southwest on Friday after the small bomb that wounded Al-Assaf in Al-Ahsa in the Eastern Province. Security experts said that successful preemptive strikes by security agencies have forced Daesh (the so-called IS) to resort to random terror acts to grab media attention and register their presence. Security forces foiled the terrorist act after closely monitoring two cars in Asir. One of the vehicles was carrying explosives. Their drivers, aware that they were being followed, opened fire at security forces, prompting a car chase, the sources said. Security aircraft intervened and the suspects pulled over in a desert area as both sides traded fire, forcing the drivers to leave their cars and seek cover before the bombs in one car exploded. Both suspects were killed in the shootout that followed despite calls for them to surrender. There were no casualties among the security forces. Investigations are ongoing to identify the two men, the sources said. Meanwhile, daily life in Mahasin district in Al-Ahsa that witnessed an attempt to blow up the external parking lots of the Road Security station has not been affected.
