Riyadh, Jul 4 (IANS): The Saudi interior ministry announced on Friday the death of one of its personnel during a raid to arrest three Islamic State (IS) members in Taif district, Al Arabiya reported.

The forces shot back and arrested the three suspects. IS flags, silencers and computers were confiscated from their house. The shootout led to the death of the police personnel.
