431 suspects nabbed in Saudi crackdown on ISIS cells

[Disir]

RIYADH • Saudi Arabia said it has broken up a network linked to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and made more than 430 arrests, foiling new attacks on Shi'ite mosques and a diplomatic mission.

ISIS has claimed several deadly attacks in the Sunni-dominated kingdom. The authorities have "managed over the past few weeks to destroy an organisation, made of a cluster of cells, which is linked to the terrorist Daesh organisation", the Interior Ministry announced on Saturday, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.

The cells were involved in several attacks and plots, including deadly suicide bombings of Shi'ite mosques in the kingdom's Eastern Province, it said. Most of the 431 suspects arrested were Saudis.

"Six successive suicide operations which targeted mosques in the Eastern Province every Friday, timed with assassinations of security men, were thwarted," the ministry said in a statement.

It said 37 people were killed during the arrests, including security personnel and civilians, and 120 were wounded. Six "terrorists" were also killed in the operations.

The beheadings are the best. Front row seats go for about $10,000 Saudi Rials I heard.
