Saudi Arabia Makes Al-Qaida Arrests

Saudi Arabia says it has arrested 149 people with suspected al-Qaida links over the past eight months.

The Interior Ministry said Friday the alleged militants had been planning attacks against the government and journalists.

The ministry said the suspects are a mix of Saudis and other nationalities and had links to 19 al-Qaida cells.

Reuters says Saudi officials confiscated almost $600,000 from al-Qaida when the militant group tried to collect money and spread its ideology during the annual Muslim Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages in the country.

Earlier this month, Saudi officials said they were on guard for possible al-Qaida attempts to disrupt security during the Hajj, which ended last week.

Saudi interior minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz said al-Qaida or other militants may attempt incursions from neighboring Yemen which has seen budding terrorism cells.

Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.
