"...The policies are correct, when dealing with a poisonous snake - cut off it's damn head..... Saudi officials: Al Qaeda leader killed By CNN.com Arabic Editor Caroline Faraj Thursday, August 18, 2005 Posted: 1435 GMT (2235 HKT) (CNN) -- Saudi security forces have killed a man in Medina they said was the leader of al Qaeda on the Arab Peninsula, an interior ministry official told CNN. The man identified as Saleh Al Oufi was on a Saudi list of 26 most wanted people. The Saudis have since issued a new list with 36 names, but Oufi's death on Thursday would leave one person on the original list still free. In a statement, a senior official at the Interior Ministry said security forces launched a number of early morning attacks in Riyadh and Medina as King Abdullah prepared to make the first official visit of his reign. Abdullah, who is expected to visit Medina later Thursday, assumed the throne of the House of Saud when his half-brother, King Fahd, died earlier this month. The raids targeted suspected al Qaeda hideouts, the statement said, and resulted in a number of arrests as suspects barricaded themselves inside and opened fire. Six raids resulted in nine arrests, the statement said, and the seventh ended in a gunbattle that left Oufi and another suspect dead. Another suspect was wounded and arrested. A civilian resident and one of the security forces were severely wounded during the shooting, the statement said. The statement also said they had found scattered body parts after a shootout during a raid in a Riyadh residential area, apparently the result of a bomb. The statement said the bomb may have killed "one or more, which we are still investigating to identify them." A security force member was slightly injured during that gun battle, the statement said, and the forces found "several guns, explosives, documents and money" inside the home when it was over. edition.cnn.com .
