An informed source said two of the militants were killed when they detonated the car bomb; a third was shot and killed by Saudi authorities; and the fourth was shot and wounded by authorities and arrested.

Gunmen opened fire Saturday at an oil refinery co-owned by Exxon Mobil (search) and the Saudi company SABIC (search) in northwestern Saudi Arabia, killing at least three Americans, two Britons, an Australian and a Saudi, company officials and diplomats said

Still too early to tell exactly what happened.
