The vehicle used by gunmen who killed four French tourists in Saudi Arabia last month has been found, an Interior Ministry spokesman said Monday.

Mansour al-Turki confirmed it was the vehicle used in the February 26 attack on a group of nine French tourists, allegedly lost in a desert area some 90 km from the holy city of Medina -- an area restricted to Muslims.

Al-Turki said authorities were still searching for two Saudi nationals believed to be linked to the attack.

The Saudi government on March 6 announced the arrest of several suspects without disclosing their identities. In addition, two Saudi nationals were summoned to turn themselves in within 24 hours or be declared wanted.

Al-Turki had said the car used in the attack was an olive-green Nissan.

Authorities initially said a terrorist group was behind the fatal shooting, which prompted diplomats and officials to warn foreigners that more attacks were possible.
