Soddies foil bid to smuggle arms in from Yemen
Saudi Arabia foiled an attempt to smuggle in ammunition and explosives from neighbouring Yemen, Saudi âAl Jazeeraâ newspaper reported on Thursday. âSmuggling of arms and drugs was lately thwarted,â Saudi security officials cited in Najran, south of the kingdom. Traffickers attempted to smuggle large quantities of liquor and prohibited drugs, such as Al-Qat, Hasheesh and Keptagon, the paper said, adding that some infiltrators to the kingdom and overstaying violators were also arraigned.Prince Mishaal bin Abdul Aziz declared that the security forces will fiercely foil any smuggling or infiltration activities in the kingdom. It is to be noted that large quantities of weapons are annually illegally smuggled into the kingdom, which has witnessed a violent spate of raids attributed to the Al Qaeda since May 2003.
