Saudis Holding Hundreds Linked to Al-Qaeda
[ AP/New York Times] Saudi authorities have arrested and detained 520 people so far this year who are suspected of having links to al-Qaeda, the Saudi Interior Ministry said Wednesday. The ministry said some of those arrested had been plotting bomb attacks against an oil installation and "a security target." Police found money, weapons and ammunition owned by the suspects, who had buried some of it in remote areas. The men, who are from Africa, Asia and other regions, were organized into cells whose leaders were based outside Saudi Arabia.
