DUBAI -- Saudi security forces shot dead a wanted man in eastern Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, a local newspaper reported, after gunmen tried to stop redevelopment work at the old quarter of Awamiya, where authorities say Shi'ite militants are hiding.
Residents and activists said that several people were injured during clashes between security forces who had entered the old part of the town known as al-Musawara (the walled part) backed by bulldozers.
Mira al-Jazeera, an online newspaper that often reflects Shi'ite views, said at least two people were confirmed killed in the raid, which began at dawn, and that dozens were injured.
