16May2004 Official source denies shooting incident near residential compound

Riyadh, 16th May 2004

An official source at the Interior Ministry categorically denied a report circulated by some media organisations last night about a shooting incident near a residential compound in Riyadh and the arrest of four suspects wanted by security authorities.

The source said that “the report is absolutely incorrect,” although one security guard at the compound fired a shot in the belief that a suspicious development required attention.

The source urged information media to corroborate their evidence before reporting such incorrect versions of events.
