Saudi coppers still rooting them out
2003-06-01
Saudi security officers stormed an apartment building in the holy city of Madinah on Friday night after receiving a tip-off and arrested two people. In an adjoining apartment, police found filters, scales and material that “could be used to make explosives,” according to Al-Riyadh newspaper. Interior Minister Prince Nayef said on Wednesday that 11 suspects were arrested in the same city over the past week, including three self-appointed religious leaders who allegedly instigated terrorist operations. Police meanwhile cordoned off a village located 100 kilometers west of Madinah after receiving information that some suspects were hiding there.
They're taking that part of it seriously, anyway. But I'll be more impressed when they cut a few heads off...
