DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A Saudi Royal Air Force F-15SA fighter jet has crashed, killing its two crew members on board. The state-run Saudi Press Agency, quoting military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Turki al-Maliki, said the crash occurred Thursday during a training mission at King Abdulaziz Air Base in Dhahran in the kingdom’s east. Al-Maliki offered no other details about the crash.
