| Saudi Arabia is in contact with Moroccan authorities over the detention of three Saudis on suspicion of plotting "terrorist attacks" on US and British warships, a Saudi security official said yesterday. The Moroccan authorities have arrested two Saudi men and their Moroccan wives and a third Saudi national for allegedly preparing attacks on US and British warships. The women were allegedly used as couriers between Al-Qaeda and its members in Morocco. The three Saudi men were arrested last month. Morocco has identified the three male Saudis as Hilal Jaber Awad Al-Assiri, Zuhair Hilal Muhammad Al-Tbaiti and Abdullah Misfer Ali Al-Ghamdi. The five are expected to appear before a Moroccan court in the next few days. According to the Moroccan media, two of the Saudi suspects exploited local customs to conduct symbolic marriages with Moroccan women and gain legal status in the North African country. The Soddies just hate it when their thugs get arrested. Sometimes a little arrogance or a royal word might get them sprung to use somewhere else. |
