Saudi Arabia arrested 149 people from 19 cells linked to al Qaeda over the past eight months and foiled attacks against government and security officials as well as journalists, the Interior Ministry said on Friday.
It said in a statement it had confiscated 2.24 million riyals ($597,237) from al-Qaeda when it tried to collect money and spread its ideology during the Muslim pilgrimages of Haj and Umra in Saudi Arabia. (Reuters)
