Manama: Saudi authorities have reportedly foiled an attempt to undermine security and incite chaos in the kingdom by arresting a woman and her two sons and recovering a cache of weapons.
The suspects, all Saudi nationals, were supported by parties outside the kingdom, Saudi news site Sabq reported on Wednesday.
“The security agencies were able to monitor the woman and the two sons in Jeddah, in possession of the money that had been given to them by two people to fund the terrorist attacks against Saudi Arabia,” a security source told Sabq.
The operation also led to the discovery of weapons, ammunition and other items hidden in the house of the suspects in Dammam, the main city in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.
Authorities are questioning the suspects to know more about the plot, Sabq added.
According to the news site, two other sons of the arrested mother are being held in prison for their links with terror groups and their participation in operations in conflict zones.
