Steve Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia announced Wednesday that it had arrested 208 suspected terrorists in six cells and thwarted several planned attacks in the kingdom's largest terror sweep to date. Among the plots, the Interior Ministry said, the capture of eight al-Qaida-linked suspects "pre-empted an imminent attack on an oil installation" in the country's east, which is home to most Saudi petroleum reserves. A ministry statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency said the eight were led by a non-Saudi man, who was among those arrested. Eighteen other suspects led by a non-Saudi missile expert were arrested for "planning to smuggle eight missiles into the kingdom to carry out terrorist operations," the statement said Wonder how many are labeled 'terrorists' for expediency sake for 'other' crimes? hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
