The interior ministry announced late Sunday the arrest last week of 15 terror suspects in the holy city of Madina and the seizure of supplies of arms, ammunition and chemical substances. Those arrested include 10 Saudi men, two Moroccan men, two Moroccan women and a Syrian woman. They also include three hardline clerics, Ali Khudair al-Khudair, Ahmed al-Khaldi and Nasser al-Fahd, who have issued fatwas, or religious edicts, inciting terror attacks against Westerners and openly supporting the Riyadh bombings. The three clerics are believed to be the main ideologists for the Saudi Mujahedin, or Islamic fighters [Al Muwahidoun], a small but violent group highly sympathetic to bin Laden. |
