    SAUDI ARABIA VOWED TO USE "AN IRON FIST" AFTER UNREST

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Saudi Arabia vowed to use "an iron fist" after
    11 members of the security forces were injured by attackers during
    unrest in a Shiite Muslim town in the east, Bloomberg said citing a
    report of the official Saudi Press Agency.

    The government accused an unnamed "foreign country" of seeking to
    undermine the stability of the kingdom as a result of the violence in
    Awwamiya, in which the assailants, some on motorcycles, used machine
    guns and Molotov cocktails, the Riyadh-based news service reported
    late yesterday. A man and two women were also injured, the news
    service said.

    Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil supplier, escaped the mass
    protests that toppled the leaders of Egypt and Tunisia this year and
    spread to the Saudi neighbors of Yemen and Bahrain. There were some
    rallies earlier in the year in mostly Shiite eastern Saudi Arabia,
    including Awwamiya and al-Qatif village.
