The Interior Ministry is expanding the kingdom’s jihadist rehabilitation program, due to fears that jihadists in Syria will engage in terrorism when they return; three more rehab centers are planned in addition to the two already in operation. The number of Saudis fighting in Syria has been estimated at between 800 and 900. An Interior Ministry security official said that sheikhs who engage in argument with al Qaeda in the government’s online theological forum often receive death threats.
