The Saudi Interior Ministry said Thursday a terrorist fugitive was shot dead resisting arrest, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The fugitive, identified as Abdul-Rahim Ali Abdul-Rahim Al-Faraj, were killed in a raid targeting a house in Awamiya, a Shiite town in the country's eastern governorate of Qatif, SPA said.
His brother, Majid Ali Abdul-Rahim Al-Faraj, also wanted by authorities, is still on the run.
Large quantities of firearms and ammunition were found in the house after the raid.
The two brothers were accused of committing a number of "terrorist crimes," including killing security troops, attacking civilians, destroying public property, and armed robberies.
The restive Awamiya is among the few districts in Saudi Arabia with a high concentration of minority Shiites in the Sunni-dominated country.
Of the 135 alleged terrorists Saudi Arabia announced to have arrested since early 2014, 17 were accused of crimes such as rioting, vandalism and attacks on security forces in Awamiya.
