Interior Ministry front man Gen. Mansour al-Turki told Al Arabiya News Channel that Salman had previously been detained, and authorities are now searching for additional suspects in the mosque bombing.

"There are sides who are complicit and we must find them," he said.

Turki said while Saudis make "thousands of phone calls" to report suspicious people, which could lead authorities to "arrest those who we've have enough evidence to do so," mere alerts were "not enough."

"Educating youngsters" is important to stop them being used as "tools for terrorism," he urged.

He added: "We are working to end any security void which could be used by the terrorists."
