Saudi Arabia has arrested more than 100 terror suspects accused of planning attacks on its oil installations.
Today’s ministry statement did not say when the arrests were made. It said the suspects are 47 Saudis, 51 Yemenis, a Somali, an Eritrean and a Bengali.
The suspected militants are accused of plotting attacks on vital installations including oil in the kingdom, Saudi media reported. The Interior Ministry said security forces foiled several such attacks.
In the last major attempt, suicide bombers tried but failed to destroy an oil facility at the Abqaiq oil complex in eastern Saudi Arabia in February 2006, the world’s largest oil processing facility.
