The Saudi Interior Ministry on Thursday said that four terrorists were killed in a crackdown in Makkah. 

The ministry spokesman said that security forces took the terrorists by surprise and fully sieged their place. 

The terrorists opened fire at the security members who responded and the exchange resulted in the death of two terrorists while the other two killed themselves with their own explosive belts, SPA quoted the spokesman as saying. 

At the same time, another hideout the terrorists used as a base to administer their terrorist activities was also raided in Jeddah province. 

Two individuals were arrested there, and their relation to the terrorist cell and its members was still under investigation.
