Jeddah - A Frenchman was shot dead in the Saudi city of Jeddah on Sunday.

It was the second such killing this month by suspected al-Qaeda militants, who are trying to drive Westerners out and destabilise the global oil superpower.

Saudi authorities said "terrorists" were likely behind the killing of the Frenchman who worked for a defence company.

'There is a strong possibility that this is a terrorist attack'

Police and hospital sources said the shooting of Laurent Barbot, 41, occurred at around 1am (22h00GMT) as the victim - a resident of the kingdom - was in his car near a late night supermarket.

They said Barbot, identified as a technician who worked for French defence electonics company Thales, was dead on arrival with two gunshot wounds, one to the chest.

The title says 'terrorists' then the story says maybe?
