Ten of the 88 terrorist suspects announced earlier on Tuesday to have been arrested adopted deviant ideologies and honored acts of terrorism, and most of them had relations with terrorist organizations abroad, Interior Ministry spokesman has said.
Nine suspects were arrested in Tameer, north of the capital, together with 13 Saudis and two Yemenis who formed a terrorist cell in the Makkah region and Ha'el, Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki told a press conference Tuesday evening.
He added that eight Saudis and another person, who was not identified, formed a terrorist cell in Riyadh and that five Saudis were arrested in the southern region of Aseer.
The rest of the arrested terrorists belonged to a network of six cells, that were in the making. They were arrested in different parts of the Kingdom, Makkah region, Riyadh, Al-Qaseem and the Eastern region, the spokesman said.
He stressed that all those arrested adopted deviant ideologies and promoted them, and tried to recruit young men to join the terrorist groups and cells.
Some of them had plans to carry on assassinations, while others were planning for ways to leave the country and join terrorist organizations overseas, or work for them inside the Kingdom, he said.
The spokesman revealed that some of the arrested suspects had already sent their sons to foreign organizations.
