Saudi security forces have arrested a man wanted on security-related charges in Al-Qassim region, 320 kilometers north of Riyadh, but he does not figure on a most-wanted list, newspapers said on Tuesday. "Security forces cordoned off early on Monday the old quarter of Al-Malek where the wanted man had rented a house since his arrival in the city of Buraidah," Al-Jazirah reported. It said the man surrendered without offering any resistance during a raid in which police used helicopters.

Security forces also confiscated some electronic equipment, including a computer and CDs, the paper added. Okaz reported that the arrested man is not on the list of most-wanted terror suspects, which has been cut down from 26 to 13 since it was issued by Saudi authorities last December. However, the man was "one of those attempting to undermine security by supporting the deviant group intellectually". |
