Bombs Rock Riyadh

From an Associated Press report:

A suicide attacker tried to drive his bomb-laden car into the Interior Ministry complex, and militants set off another bomb and exchanged fire with police late Wednesday in Riyadh, capital of a kingdom at war with Muslim extremists.

The first explosion at about 8:35 p.m. shattered windows and sent smoke and flames rising into the nighttime sky near the ministry in central Riyadh. Police officials said a suicide car bomber had tried to storm the ministry, but failed and instead exploded his car just outside.

It's unclear how many casualties resulted from the bombings, but it's believed that a number of policemen were injured. Subsequently, according to this report, Saudi Security Forces became engaged in a shoot-out with terrorists involved with the bombings and killed seven of them. And earlier today, Saudi police killed one and captured two terrorists in the city of Jeddah.
