A Saudi traffic policeman who was kidnapped last Friday was found dead in the Governorate of Al-Qattif.
Security patrols found the bullet-riddled body of Hashem Al-Zahrani near the village of Mahallat Mahbash, said Eastern province police spokesman Colonel Ziyad Al-Raqiti said.
Five masked assailants armed with machine guns attacked a farmhouse in the area of Sihat and abducted the traffic policeman after killing another Saudi national who was with him.
The policeman’s car engine was still running when the police arrived at the farm.
