The daily quoting highly reliable security sources said the man has given the names of five Kuwaitis, two Bedouins, one citizen from an unidentified GCC state and an Iraqi, who he said, are the founder members of group which was formed three years ago.NM disclosed during interrogation that the organization is reportedly headed by a well-known Saudi religious figure. He also disclosed members of the organization use computers and modern state-of-the-art communication equipment to ensure their calls and contacts are not tapped and to prevent their movements from being detected. Initial interrogations with the accused revealed the organization is considered as the right wing for al-Qaeda and that its duty is to prepare and recruit Gulf and Arab youths to promote sectarianism in various countries around the world.
