RIYADH, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Saudi police have raided the hiding place of terrorists in Jeddah and two of them died when they below themselves up with explosive belts, Sabq online local news reported on Saturday.
Before the explosive, both the police and wanted suspects exchange gun shooting after security personnel asked the terrorists to hand themselves.
The report said that the fugitives below themselves up after failing to escape. No official confirmation was made by the interior ministry.
Such raids are common in many parts of Saudi Arabia in recent years, after the country declared a war against terrorism and extremism that caused many deadly blasts.
Most of the extremists are running sleeping cells that work under the command of the Islamic State (IS) militant group.
