Around the world: Saudi Arabia

4th Frenchman dies

The death toll in a militant attack on French tourists in Saudi Arabia rose to four yesterday after a French teenager died from bullet wounds, a hospital doctor said.

The boy's father was among three French expatriates working in Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, who were shot dead during a desert trip on Monday in what appeared to be the first attack by suspected Al-Qaida militants on foreigners in three years.
