US EMBASSY BOMBING PLOT FOILED

Saudi arrests 93 IS suspects in anti-terror sweep

RIYADH, April 28, 2015

Saudi Arabia has arrested 93 people suspected of belonging to militant group Islamic State, including at least 65 Saudi nationals, the interior ministry said in a statement carried on the official Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.

The kingdom and some other Sunni Gulf monarchies have taken part in US-led air strikes against the group in Syria.

The arrested included two Syrian suspects and a Saudi suspect who were part of a militant cell planning a suicide car bombing against the US embassy in Riyadh.

But the plot was detected in March, Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday.-Reuters
