Saudi Security Forces Wounded in Attack in Eastern Province

(CNN) -- Security forces in eastern Saudi Arabia clashed with armed people provoked by a "foreign country," the Saudi Press Agency said Tuesday, citing an official source at the Interior Ministry.
The incident occurred Monday night in Awamiyya, in the Qatif region of Eastern province, where many Shiites in the predominantly Sunni country live. At least 14 people were wounded.
"A group of instigators" congregated in the town's roundabout and "used motorcycles and Molotov cocktails to undermine security and interfere in national sovereignty," according to the report.
"As security forces managed to disperse them, the group fired with automatic weapons at the security forces from a nearby neighborhood which resulted in the injury of 11 security forces, nine of them from gunshots and two from Molotov cocktails. In addition, a civilian and two women were wounded from gunshots in a nearby building. All were taken to a hospital," the report said.
The ministry said that it "will not tolerate any threat to the security and stability of the homeland and its citizens, and will respond with an iron fist."
The Interior Ministry source was quoted as saying the "group was incited by a foreign country that seeks to extend its influence outside its circle and to undermine the security of the homeland." It didn't name the country.
There have been street disturbances in the predominantly Shiite country of Bahrain nearby, ruled by a Sunni monarchy. And there has been tension between Iran, a predominantly Shiite nation, and the Sunni world.
This year, Shiite protesters in Qatif city and Awamiyya urged the government to release Shiite prisoners and grant more rights. Those protests, which were peaceful, also urged the withdrawal of regional forces from neighboring Bahrain.

now you know where the machine guns and the molotov cocktails are coming from. And using a hit and run by a motor cycle is the first thing Iran teaches to its proxies.

Damn those Latvians!!!! :lol:

On a side note:
Allowing Israel to use your air space is looking pretty dandy, no?
 
you really want to Light a regional war don't ya ?
If you read the article you`d know that it has already begun. Slow yes but sides are being chosen.
Besides, the fact that Iran is, has and will support terror groups throughout the middle east doesn`t seem to you like an act of war?
Or does logic not work on you?

Oh, i`m familiar Hussein. But the Islamic republic of Iran is on Israel`s to do list, not the Iranian people but the leadership.

I find it stupid that the Saudi backed anti-Israel elements are fighting the anti-Israel elements supported by Iran why can't theybrealize they are fighting the same enemy??
 
Assalam alaikum

Mosa i have a news two of the security ppl r dead could u confirm it. these trouble makers start the fitna and then go and cry if being oppressed. i hope the authorities deal with them firmly.

i might add is this what bashar was refering too ( there r words that he said he can light fire in gulf if the demostrations r not stopped or aided by gulf countries )

I predict this small incident will be crushed with such a heavy hand that there will be no widespread movement against the Kingdom.

It actually started on the afternoon there was a small demonstrations but when an Egyptian man came driving by they started throng rocks at his car he stopped and got in a fight with them. But when they started to gather up he fled to the police station there. So they followed him with AKs and molotvs and started shooting and throwing the molotovs at the police station that's where most security injuries and casualties were reported.

Assalam alaikum they r in very less numbers but they r in some good number in qateef but as i m listening special forces have arrived there and they will take care of the situation. it is not a movement or any sort of it.

Mosa, thanks for the info
