RIYADH - Saudi security forces have arrested five more suspects in connection with the May 12 Riyadh suicide attacks that left 34 people dead including nine bombers, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
The arrests, carried
out in two raids late Wednesday and Friday, were made in the Muslim holy
city of Medina, where at least 11 other suspects were arrested a few days
earlier, Al-Watan daily said.
The paper, quoting
unnamed security officials, said in the first raid, two men were nabbed at
an internet cafe, while in the second two men and a woman were arrested at
a private home. Saudi
Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz said Wednesday that 11
people, including three women, were arrested in Medina during several
raids by the security forces. He said that among those
arrested were three hardline clerics, Ali Khudhair al-Khudair, Ahmed bin
Hmud al-Khaldi and Nasser bin Hamad al-Fahd, who supported the Riyadh
bombings. Saudi opposition abroad
reported that Khudair and Khaldi had been killed during the operation, a
claim denied by Prince Nayef. Reports said that among
the 11 caught was the alleged mastermind of the Riyadh attacks, Ali
al-Ghamdi. Prince Nayef also said
that until Wednesday 21 people with suspected links to the suicide
bombings had been arrested and that four of six dead bombers were
identified as members of a cell of 19 uncovered a few days before the
attacks.
