Saudi Arabia

Saudi security forces detained 701 suspects said to be plotting to attack targets in the country, including oil installations. The government released 181 based on lack of evidence but 520 are still in custody, including the cell leader. The interior minister said fighters were “arriving from Iraq, Afghanistan and North Africa to target the oil installations and to fight the security forces.”
