Al-Qaeda Men Nabbed
At least two suspected Al-Qaeda militants were arrested on Monday. However, Saudi security officials told various news agencies and satellite TV stations that it was still unclear whether the two arrested â and a possible third suspect who may have escaped, according to US Embassy officials â were connected to the May 12 bombings in Riyadh. In Riyadh, Crown Prince Abdullah said that the Kingdom had stepped up measures to strengthen its security. He also said that the criminals who carried out last weekâs attacks as well as those who helped them would be severely punished. âThose who sympathize with these renegades or justify their acts will be regarded as belonging to them,â the prince warned, while receiving the families of the victims of the Riyadh bombings. âIslam does not recognize (these terrorists). It is a religion that teaches peace and love and forbids bloodshed or any act that harms human beings or even animals,â he said.
