| Saudi security forces captured six wanted suspects during a series of overnight raids that ended at dawn on Tuesday in Medina. Four of them were arrested in the Al-Salam neighbourhood where the suspected extremists had hoped to escape the security net by âhiding among civiliansâ, said Al-Riyadh. Okaz said the arrests were made without a shot being fired, and no weapons were found with the suspects. Security forces have rounded up hundreds of presumed Islamist extremists since a wave of bombings, blamed on sympathisers of the Al Qaeda terror network, began in Riyadh exactly a year ago. But 18 most-wanted suspects from an original list of 26 remain at large. |
