RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi security forces killed three suspected militants in the Saudi capital Riyadh Friday, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television said.

It said the three were killed in the al-Malazz district but gave no further details. The area has been the scene of a massive security search after al Qaeda militants shot dead a U.S. contractor there last week.

The television did not say whether the militants were killed during a search for the body of U.S. hostage Paul Johnson, who al Qaeda said it beheaded earlier Friday.
