Saudi security forces on Saturday killed two dangerous terrorists in a security operation in the capital, Riyadh, the Saudi Interior Ministry said in a statement.

The security services had received information on the presence of the wanted men, carrying weapons and explosive belts in a house north of Riyadh, the statement said.

The two dead fugitives were using the house to make explosive devices and suicide belts, it added.

When security forces asked the militants to surrender, they fired at the security men, forcing the security to kill the two, the statement said.

A security officer was injured during the operation, it added.
