Unidentified gunmen killed two Saudi policemen in the eastern city of Dammam early on Tuesday (October 25th) in the latest in a series of attacks in the region, AFP reported.
According to a police spokesman, officers came under "heavy fire from an unknown source" as they parked their vehicle in a commercial area, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Two policemen were killed in a similar attack in Dammam last month.
Meanwhile, one of 85 suspected militants on a Saudi wanted list sent to Interpol in February 2009 handed himself in to Saudi authorities, the interior ministry said.
Osama Ali Abdullah Damjan had contacted security services from abroad expressing a willingness to surrender and was flown home Tuesday, a ministry statement published by SPA said, without specifying from which country.
