Saudi authorities uncover terrorist cells
Boy! Who expected to find any of those in Soddy Arabia?Authorities in Saudi Arabia say security forces have discovered a car rigged with explosives, rifles and pistols in a hideout in the capital, Riyadh. Officials say police who had been following a suspected terrorist cell raided two houses, seizing explosives, guns and ammunition. The raids took place on the eve of the hajj pilgrimage in the Saudi city of Mecca. That same day, seven people - including six police - were killed when militants opened fire on them as they searched the house of one of the group members. Saudi Arabia has been fighting a wave of militant violence, blamed on supporters of Saudi-born Al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden.
