Westerners killed in Saudi Arabia

Gunmen have reportedly killed six people in an attack on Western targets in the Saudi Arabian city of Yanbu.
Two Americans, two Britons, an Australian and a Saudi are said to have died in the attack on a company office.

Local journalists quoted witnesses as saying that the body of one of the Westerners was dragged through the streets of Yanbu by a car.

Saudi interior ministry officials said that three attackers were subsequently killed by the security forces.

Local hospitals report that up to 18 people, mostly Saudis, were injured.
