Saudi Gazette report
The Ministry of Interior revealed on Friday along with the identity of four terrorists who were killed following the security operation in Makkah on Thursday, that two of the slain terror operatives were involved in mosque attacks.
One of the terrorists was involved in the bombing of two mosques in Asir and Najran while another was accused of being involved in three other mosque attacks, security spokesman at the ministry said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency.
A huge cache of weapons and explosives, including four AK 47, two revolvers, and two explosive belts were seized from their hideout. Two terrorists were killed and two others blew themselves up following a raid on a rest house in Wadi Noman, south of Makkah, on Thursday.
The spokesman said that the slain terrorists included Saeed Ayed Al-Shahrani and Muhammad Sulaiman Al-Anzi. Al-Shahrani, aged 46, was among the list of wanted terrorists for his involvement in the bomb blast at the mosque in the headquarters of the Special Emergency Forces in Abha in the southern Asir province and the bombing of Al-Mashhad Mosque in Dahdah district in Najran, as well as in the killing of a retired security man.
The 46-year-old Al-Anzi was in the list of terrorists wanted in connection with firing at worshippers in Al-Mustafa Mosque in Dalwah district in Al-Ahsa, bombing at Al-Anoud Mosque in Dammam, and bombing at Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib Mosque in Al-Qudaih town in Qatif region. Al-Anzi, an expert in making bombs, dodged security forces earlier by escaping from a rest house in Darmah.
The slain Mubarak Abdullah Al-Dosary, 25, was among those who had escaped from Darmah rest house. Adel Abdullah Al-Mejmaj, the terrorist who blew himself up, was wearing women's dress with a suicide belt. He was earlier detained for illegal activity and later went absconding. Al-Mejmaj, aged 27, had links with Yasser Ali Al-Houdi, who was killed in a shootout with security forces in Bisha on April 29.
In another development, unknown gunmen shot and killed Saudi police officer in Makkah. Cpl. Khalaf Al-Harithi was shot while on duty at Al-Qarie police station in Makkah at around 9.30 p.m. Thursday.
