DUBAI, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Saudi security forces killed
a young protester and wounded three others late on Thursday in
the oil-producing Eastern Province, home to a large Shi'ite
minority, websites and activists said, while one was injured by
bullets in a peaceful march on Friday.
Saudi Arabia, the world's No. 1 oil exporter, is sensitive
to any Shi'ite unrest in the Eastern Province because of what it
says are concerns it could be fomented by non-Arab Shi'ite power
Iran to destabilise the Gulf region. Tehran denies involvement.
During the Arab uprisings last year, Saudi Arabia moved
swiftly to suppress protests in the Eastern Province in February
