Four killed in Saudi police shootout
Not much info here, but that's sort of normal for the "peaceful kingdom".

"Four armed men wanted for security-related matters were killed in a shootout with security forces," the source said, adding that the gunfight erupted in a desert area between Al-Zilfi and Al-Qassim, about 200km northwest of Riyadh.

"There were a few minor injuries among security men," the source added, without giving further details.

Saudi security forces late last month killed a total of 10 insurgents, including two of the kingdom's most wanted men, in two days of clashes in Riyadh, the interior ministry said.

The clashes occurred both before and after two car bombings against security targets in the capital on 29 December.
