Saudi Arabian security forces killed "a terrorist" who attempted to attack a security facility in the country's oil-producing Eastern Province, state television reported on Friday.
Al Ikhbariya TV cited unnamed sources as saying that a person was surrounded and killed after attacking a security man. It gave no more information.
In 2006, four Al Qaeda militants breached the gates of Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq plant but did not manage to cause significant damage before being killed in a shootout with security guards.
