One protester died of wounds sustained when security forces opened fire on protesters in the Shiite Qatif region of Saudi Arabia\'s Eastern Province, medical officials said on Tuesday. Ali al-Felfel was hit by a bullet in the chest Monday night and died in hospital later, they said. Several other people were wounded in the gunfire, which dispersed protests triggered by the suspicious death of a Shiite man near a Saudi police checkpoint in Qatif late Sunday.
