Gunmen kill policeman in Qatif
RIYADH, August 17, 2016
A policeman was shot dead by masked gunmen in the Qatif district in Saudi Arabia's oil-producing Eastern Province on Wednesday, state news agency SPA said.
Four assailants opened fire on a police station before dawn, SPA reported.
Qatif was one of three Saudi cities targeted in coordinated bomb attacks on July 4. A suicide bomber struck near a Shi'ite mosque killing himself and two others.
The Saudi government said Islamic State was likely behind the attacks. - Reuters
