RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — An explosion
outside a watch shop in the eastern Saudi city of Khobar killed two people and
injured four others Saturday, Saudi TV reported.
It wasn't clear what caused the blast on King Khaled Street. The street is filled with stores, and the blast occurred outside the shop
selling watches, witnesses reached by telephone said. No other details were immediately available. In 1996, 19 U.S. servicemen were killed when members of the dissident Saudi
Hezbollah group bombed the Khobar Towers complex, located in Dahran, a town near
Khobar. U.S. prosecutors have indicted 14 people in that case.
