Overnight: Another Saudi Terrorist Incident?

This from the early overnights: it's not entirely clear yet but this story in the Saudi paper al-Watan of the arrest of a a man who opened fire on the police, (sorry: Arabic only; I'll try to post an English version later), apparently from a car, opened fire on a police patrol in the ‘Asir region (again, in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the Yemen border, where so many recent incidents have occurred), looks like it might be yet another terror incident. More as the day progresses and the news arrives.
