Saudis Arrest Al-Qaeda Terrorists Targeting Oil Sector
(Reuters) Souhail Karam - Saudi Arabia said on Wednesday it had arrested 113 al-Qaeda terrorists including suicide bombers who had been planning attacks on Saudi energy facilities. The Interior Ministry said its sweep netted 58 Saudis and 52 from Yemen. Henry Wilkinson, a counter-terrorism expert in London, said the arrests showed the Saudi oil sector remained a priority target for al-Qaeda.
