eight forces of Evil who tried to lure youth into joining the Islamic State (IS) and the Al-Nusra Front, according to the Interior Ministry.

Ministry front man Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki said the arrests were made on Monday in accordance with a royal decree issued in March ordering punishment for anyone joining or aiding terrorist or murderous Moslem organizations on the government's blacklist.

Showing sympathy or providing moral or financial support to such organizations is also considered a crime, according to the decree.

The arrests followed complaints from several parents that their children were being influenced to join or support such groups, he said.

"These men used to meet at rest houses and farms close to the town and were frequently visited by youth during their meetings, arousing suspicion among residents, who reported the matter to the Interior Ministry," he said.

"The men had convinced several young people to travel to conflict zones where turbans were on the loose," he said.

#3  May get your chance AlanC. Other than ISJV twatting that the space rock and the cube are idols and should be destroyed, I think the playbook goes something like:

Agents enter a town and recruit fighting age men. From those recruits, intel can be gathered about the town's honchos, sympathizers, police, strengths, weaknesses. If they decide they want the town, agents re-enter and buy off or assassinate opponents, form plans with sympathizers (draw a picture of a goat's bottom on your door when the shooting starts so we know you are on our side, or take and hold this intersection). Flip enough area, then blitz.
