Foxnews is saying the Saudis have killed Muqrin, the guy who killed Paul Johnson.
Al Arabiya television said it had unconfirmed reports that the top al Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, was killed Friday.
The television, which is majority owned by Saudis, did not give any details. Muqrin's group had earlier beheaded American engineer Paul Johnson in Riyadh. Shortly afterwards, Saudi forces killed three militants in a shootout in the capital.
