Some 100 Saudis suspected of ties to al Qaeda arrested
Saudi Arabia holds more than 100 Saudi nationals suspected of ties to al Qaeda, Interior Minister Prince Nayef was quoted Wednesday as saying. There are al Qaeda in Saudi? "Prince Nayef unveiled the arrest of more than 100 Saudis who returned from Afghanistan on suspicion of having links to the al Qaeda organization," al-Eqtisadiah newspaper reported. These would be low ranking cannon fodder types. "The number of those questioned on this issue was around 700 Saudis," said Prince Nayef, rejecting reports that the number was much higher. According to Reuters, the minister was speaking after a meeting of the consultative Shoura council late Tuesday. Who would never allow al Qaeda in their country. They want them, ah, in some other country. Posted by: Steve 2002-11-20 |
