UK cameraman shot dead in Saudi

A British cameraman was shot and killed and another British journalist was wounded after gunmen opened fire on them as they filmed in an Islamist militant area in the Saudi capital Riyadh, a Western diplomat said.

The diplomat said the two journalists were in a car with a Saudi driver filming a house of a wanted al Qaeda militant in the Suweidi district when they came under fire. The wounded journalist was not in serious condition, the diplomat said. No details were available.
