Saudi police have arrested 10 people for collecting donations and recruiting on behalf of militant groups, an interior ministry spokesman said. The arrests follow claims in the US bipartisan Iraq Study Group report issued in December that Saudi Arabia has been a source of funding for the Sunni insurgency in Iraq since the US-led invasion of Iraq deposed Saddam Hussein in 2003. The Saudi Ministry of Interior issued a statement on January 22 warning against collecting donations for groups not registered with the government. |
