A German national was shot dead in Riyadh on Saturday, the capital's police chief said, becoming the seventh Westerner to be killed in Saudi Arabia this month.
"An expatriate holding German citizenship was shot and killed by unknown elements in eastern Riyadh. Security authorities are still (investigating) the incident," the police chief said, quoted by the official SPA news agency.
An employee at the Arab National Bank told AFP earlier the victim was in front of the bank in the Al-Hamra neighbourhood of the Saudi capital when the shooting occurred at around 6:00pm.
The victim worked for Saudi Arabian Airlines, a security man at the scene said.
