Saudi Arabia says six suspects killed in raid on Shiite stronghold

Riyadh (AFP) - Six suspects wanted over unrest in Saudi Arabia's Shiite minority stronghold of Qatif were killed in a police raid this week, the kingdom's secret service said Wednesday.

One person was lightly wounded and arrested in the "preemptive" raid on "terrorists" holed up in a house in the eastern town of Jish on Monday, a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency said.

Five officers were wounded in the operation, which the statement said had foiled a planned attack on infrastructure development in the Eastern Province, which includes Qatif.
