RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Police have arrested 172 militants who were plotting to attack Saudi Arabia’s oil fields, storm its prisons to free the inmates and use aircraft in their attacks, the Interior Ministry said Friday
The militants planned to carry out suicide attacks against “public figures, oil facilities, refineries ... and military zones.” The Interior Ministry said some of the military targets were outside the kingdom, but it did not elaborate.
Some of the militant were being trained to fly aircraft, the statement added, raising the specter of more attacks like Sept. 11, 2001 in which terrorists hijacked passenger planes and flew them into buildings in New York and Washington.
