DUBAI (Sputnik) — The operation, carried out in a recreational area east of Mecca, involved police support from the sky, as the suspects took refuge in a roadside cafe, the newspaper Sabq reported, citing security sources.
Police officers managed to surround the group of men and later all four suspects were killed, according to the newspaper.
Saudi police and the Shiite minority population have repeatedly been a target of Daesh attacks in the east of Saudi Arabia, which became unstable after Riyadh executed a prominent Shiite cleric earlier this year.
