Scratch some more bad guys, this time at the hands of the Saudis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another top terrorist was killed yesterday morning after security forces raided his hide-out in the south of the capital.<\/p>\n

Abdul Rahman Al-Yaziji, terror suspect No. 15 on the list of 26 most wanted in Saudi Arabia, was shot dead in the Southern Industrial Area of Riyadh.<\/p>\n

A source told Arab News that security forces had received information about the terrorist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s whereabouts from terror suspects who were apprehended in Al-Rass two days ago.<\/p>\n

The source added that security officers surrounded an old building in which he was hiding at about 9 a.m. yesterday morning and blocked off all roads leading to the area.<\/p>\n

Officers then raided the building and a gunbattle between the terror suspect and police ensued.<\/p>\n

After a three-hour exchange of fire, the suspect tried to flee the building on foot in a desperate bid to escape. He was shot dead after he refused to give in and continued to fire at police officers, the source added.<\/p>\n

The battle was the latest in ongoing clashes between suspected Al-Qaeda terrorists and security forces.<\/p>\n

An intense 60-hour clash in the northern town of Al-Rass in the Qasim region, which broke out when security forces attempted to encircle a militant hide-out, ended late Tuesday with the deaths of 14 gunmen.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a source told Arab News\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 sister publication Asharq Al-Awsat that many of the terrorists who surrendered in Al-Rass two days ago told police that they did not know which city they were in because they were smuggled into the city disguised in black abayas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The incident is not the first where terrorists have abused the Saudi female traditional dress to escape being searched at checkpoints and travel freely between cities in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Last year in a raid that took place in Al-Jazirah district in Riyadh, some terrorists fled the scene in black abayas. And a large number of abayas were found in raids on terror cells in Makkah, Madinah, Taif and Qasim.<\/p>\n

Yesterday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s killing put the number of terror suspects killed by security officers in the Kingdom in the past three days in a row to 15. They included Abdul Kareem Al-Majati and Saud Al-Otaibi, two most wanted terrorists.<\/p>\n

With Al-Yaziji\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s killing, the number of terrorists still on the run from the list of 26 is now down to three \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Saleh Al-Aufi, the alleged Al-Qaeda commander in Saudi Arabia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Talib Al-Talib, and Abdullah Al-Rashoud.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
