RIYADH- Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry says its security forces have killed a suspected extremist wanted in the killing of two police corporals.
The ministry's statement said Mohammed al-Maliki had been hiding out in a mountainous area near the western city of Taif when police surrounded him and killed him in a gunbattle Monday.
A policeman was killed in a shootout with militants in Taif on Sunday. Another policeman was killed in the holy city of Mecca after a police raid there Thursday night. Police say al-Maliki was involved in both shootings.
