Police in Saudi Arabian raid a suspected terrorist?s house in Riyadh as part of a major security operation. The government claims to have uncovered an al Qaeda militant group with links to ? extremist elements? in the region. The suspects are thought to have been planning attacks in the Kingdom. Interior MInistry spokesperson General Major Mansour al-Turki declared the operation a success: ?The results of an investigation and security follow up has shown how widespread this network is and the existing links with radical elements in Syria and Yemen. Sixty-two suspects have been arrested for their connection to the revealed terrorist organisation ? one Palestinian, one Yemeni, one Pakistani and the rest are all Saudis.? Put on show was a haul of computers, money and ******* police claim to have found at several targeted locations. Saudi Arabia is increasingly concerned that Syria?s civil war is radicalising more of its own citizens. However International groups say a new ?anti-terrorism? law is allowing for the detaining and jailing of people as militants for criticising the country?s ruling family.
