Killed

Al Shihri, Raed al-Harbi, and a third man were killed at a border crossing while trying to enter Saudi Arabia from Yemen. The Associated Press reports the men were in possession of suicide belts when discovered. Al Shihri and Al Harbi were disguised in women's clothes when discovered. The three resisted arrest and one Saudi soldier was killed and another wounded. The third man, who was not in disguise, survived the firefight. His interrogation led to the capture of six Yemeni accomplices.

Saudi security officials reported on the arrest of 113 suspects in March 2010. The arrest of 101 of those individuals were reported to have started with the interrogation of al-Shiri's surviving companion.

Famous quotes containing the word killed:

    “They unhook their heavy swords
    From golden and silver boughs;
    But all that are killed in battle
    Awaken to life again.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
    We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
    Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
    And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
    Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
    The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
    —Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
