Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia said it has detained more than 110 suspected militants sponsored by Al Qaeda’s branch in neighboring Yemen, including a dozen men allegedly plotting suicide attacks on the Kingdom’s oil installations.
The arrests, which took place in stages over the past five months and in different parts of the country, highlight the continuing risk posed by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as the Yemen-based franchise is called, but also the stunning strides Saudi Arabia has made in penetrating and undermining militant cells in the past few years.
