A "militant of the deviating group" called Faris bin Ahmed bin Showeel Al-Zaharani and an individual accompanying him were arrested on Thursday evening while Saudi security men were hunting down members this group, an official source at the Ministry of Interior stated. 

 

The source described to SPA on Friday Al-Zahrani as one of the leading terror suspects, who denounces people as infidels, calls for bombings, lambastes Ulema, and instigates other individuals to kill security men, noting that it will not disclose the identity of the second person for security reasons.  

 

The source pointed out that the security men detained the two swiftly and efficiently so that they could not use the weapons they were carrying, indicating that no one was injured in this incident. (albawaba.com)
