Gunmen Kill at Least Six at Saudi Oil Facility, Lead Police on Bloody Chase Through Streets

YANBU, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Militants sprayed gunfire inside an oil contractor's office, killing at least six people - including two Americans and three other Westerners - before tying a body to the bumper of a car and dragging it past horrified students at a high school.
Police killed the four gunmen in a shootout after a car chase. One of the attackers was reported to be on the Saudi kingdom's list of most-wanted terrorists, many of them suspects in 2003 suicide attacks on foreign housing compounds in the capital, Riyadh. The two attacks were blamed on al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden's terror network.

Students told The Associated Press on Sunday that bearded men drove a car drove into the parking lot of the Ibn Hayyan Secondary Boys School as classes began Saturday, the start of the school week. They fired into the air to attract students' attention, then urged the boys to go to an Iraqi city where U.S. troops are battling insurgents.

"God is great! God is great! Come join your brothers in Fallujah!" they shouted. Pointing to the bloodied and badly damaged corpse, his clothes shredded, they screamed: "This is the president of America."
