Saudi Arabia's interior ministry announced Monday the capture of "terror" suspects and the seizure of caches of arms and munitions in the capital Riyadh and Red Sea port city of Jeddah. 

 

"Certain people wanted in the hunt have been caught and a manhunt has been launched to arrest those still on the run," a ministry spokesman said, quoted by the official SPA news agency. 

 

Large amounts of arms, including C4 plastic explosives, bombs, machine-guns, bullets and products used to make bombs and explosives were seized in the capital and Jeddah, the spokesman added. (Albawaba.com)
