              Riyadh: Saudi Arabia 
              announced that 13 people were killed and four others were missing 
              in Riyadh, Baha, Hail and Quwayiyah due to recent rains and 
              floods, Xinhua reported Wednesday.
 Saudi Arabia has been witnessing medium and heavy rains in 
              different regions since Friday, resulting in the closure of

              bin Thabit Al-Harthi said that the victims included two people in
