Killed

Al Shihri, Raed al-Harbi, and a third man were killed at a border crossing while trying to enter Saudi Arabia from Yemen. The Associated Press reports the men were in possession of suicide belts when discovered. Al Shihri and Al Harbi were disguised in women's clothes when discovered. The three resisted arrest and one Saudi soldier was killed and another wounded. The third man, who was not in disguise, survived the firefight. His interrogation led to the capture of six Yemeni accomplices.

Saudi security officials reported on the arrest of 113 suspects in March 2010. The arrest of 101 of those individuals were reported to have started with the interrogation of al-Shiri's surviving companion.

Famous quotes containing the word killed:

    I read ... an article by a highly educated man wherein he told with what conscientious pains he had brought up all his children to be skeptical of everything, never to believe anything in life or religion or their own feelings without submitting it to many rational doubts, to have a persistent, thoroughly skeptical, doubting attitude toward everything.... I think he might as well have taken them out in the backyard and killed them with an ax.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    He had killed and put to earth so many that his sword broke in two. At length he thought to himself that that was enough massacring and killing for one day, and that the rest should be allowed to escape in order to spread the news.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    Planted deeper than roots,
    This chiselled, flung-up faith
    Runs and leaps against the sky,
    A prayer killed into stone....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
