A gunman attacked and wounded a Saudi preacher and a diplomat from Saudi Arabia’s embassy late Tuesday before being killed by a police officer in the southern city of Zamboanga, the police said. The preacher, Aaidh al-Qarni, was about to leave Western Mindanao State University after delivering a lecture when he and the embassy’s religious attaché, Turki Assaegh, were shot by the gunman, who darted out from a crowd, said a police spokeswoman, Senior Inspector Helen Limen Galvez. The two victims were treated at a hospital and declared out of danger, Ms. Galvez said. Two other people suspected in connection with the attack were arrested, she said. The motive for the attack was not immediately clear.
