Saudi security forces killed two suspected militants and wounded three others in an exchange of fire in the capital Riyadh, officials say.
The operation in the King Fahd District is also said to have resulted in the arrest of the family of the man thought to be al-Qaeda's chief in the country.

Around 90 people have been killed in Saudi Arabia in the past year, in a series of attacks linked to al-Qaeda.

King Fahd declared a one-month amnesty for militants who turn themselves in.

Only a handful have surrendered to Saudi authorities, who have vowed to strike "with full might" when the deadline runs out in a few days' time.
