Saudi security guards thwart attack

CNN:

Saudi security forces have thwarted an attempted suicide attack at an oil processing facility in eastern Saudi Arabia, Saudi security sources told CNN.

Two cars carrying an unknown number of would-be bombers tried to enter the side gate to the Abqaiq plant near Dammam, but the attackers detonated their explosives after security guards fired on them, according to statements from Saudi's interior and oil ministries.

Two guards were critically injured in the blast, according to the interior minister's spokesman.

Saudi security consultant Nawaf Obaid said the cars breached the outer security perimeter after opening fire on security guards, killing three and wounding 10, before being stopped at a second security perimeter, where they set off the explosives.

The explosions caused a "minor fire" in a nearby industrial area that was quickly brought under control, the government statements said.

The incident did not affect the facility's operations, said Saudi Oil Minister Ali bin Ibrahim al-Naimi.

Al Qaeda's operatives in Saudia Arabia continue to attrite themselves whicle accomplishing nothing, but in the words of Osama getting "the bitter taste of death." The US and its allies should start using this quote from Osama everytime he sends his human bombs to explode.
