Saudi forces arrest 7 terror suspects
2005-07-15
Saudi forces arrested seven suspected terrorist in Riyadh and the southern city of Taif as the hunt for militants entered its fourth day on Thursday. The Government is offering one million Saudi Riyals to anyone providing information leading to the arrest of a wanted terrorist and SR5 million for information leading to foiling a terror attack. Officials said that police have been conducting extensive search operations in various parts of Riyadh.

One of three men arrested in Riyadh late on Wednesday is reportedly the brother of a wanted terrorist now in police custody. However, sources said the men are not among the 36 terror suspects named by the Ministry of Interior on June 28. General Mansour Al Turki, the ministry spokesman, told Gulf News that the three men were “detained for questioning and that more arrests were expected during the ongoing sweep”. Meanwhile, Saudi special forces arrested four men on Taif-Riyadh highway on “suspicion of being involved in illegal activities”. Gen Al Turki said the arrests were “part of systematic combing operations designed to capture wanted suspects”.
