Six Al-Qaeda militants who attacked a Saudi border point with Yemen last week killing five security ******rs on both sides were all Saudi nationals, the Saudi interior ministry said Tuesday. The ministry had said that the militants attacked the Wadia border post in the south of the kingdom on Friday, an operation claimed by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The crossing is in Yemen's southeastern province of Hadramawt, whose rugged terrain provides hideouts for AQAP militants. To counter illegal crossings and arms smuggling, Saudi Arabia is building a three-metre (10-foot) high fence along its southern frontier.
