Saudi security arrest teacher in suspected terror case
Saudi Arabian security forces have arrested a chemistry teacher on suspicion of links to âterrorismâ and possession of weapons and material used in making explosives, a local newspaper said on Friday.Chemistry teacher, bet his was a popular class. The daily Okaz said the secondary school teacher was arrested in Assir region and was being questioned. It gave only his last name as al-Shihri, the same family name as that of a top wanted militant who has reportedly been killed. Family affair, again. A pro-Al Qaeda Web site said on Tuesday that the militant, Amer al-Shihri, had been killed in a clash with security forces in the capital Riyadh but did not say when he died. His name was on a list of top 26 suspects issued by Saudi Arabia last year. Saw another report that the saudis were testing the dna of that body "found" in the desert to see if that was al-Shihri. Saudi officials were not immediately available to comment on the Okaz report. They never are. Posted by: Steve 2004-02-13 |
