SENIOR SAUDI OFFICIAL IS ASSASSINATED
ABU DHABI [MENL] -- A senior Saudi official has been assassinated.
Hamad Bin Abdul Rahman Al Wardi, the deputy governor of the Jouf province, was shot dead in an ambush as he was being driven to his office on Monday. Jouf is a northern province near the Iraqi and Jordanian borders and has long been plagued by unrest.
Jouf is also regarded as a major venue from arms and drug smuggling and Saudi opposition sources said the province was the target of a crackdown last year by security forces. Many of the drugs and weapons from Lebanon and Syria are said to arrive in Jouf via Jordan.
It was the second time in five months that a senior Saudi official was assassinated. In September, a Saudi judge, Abdul Rahman Al Saheebani, was shot dead as he left a mosque. A suspect was later captured and was charged with committing a terrorist act.
