(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Saudi forces have opened fire on a group of pro-democracy demonstrators in the country's Eastern Province as protests against the Al Saud regime intensify in the oil-rich Persian Gulf kingdom.
Witnesses say regime forces attacked demonstrators in the eastern city of Qatif, situated 418 kilometers (259 miles) east of the capital Riyadh, on Saturday after they chanted slogans against the government and called for the downfall of the ruling Al Saud monarchy.
There were no immediate reports of casualties among the protesters.
The incident came days after Saudi security forces shot dead a teenager and an activist as they broke up a protest in Qatif city.
