The Threat of Terror is Never Far Away – Arrests in Saudi Avert Another Campaign

Saudi authorities have arrested 28 people thought to be rebuilding the al-Qaeda terror network in Saudi Arabia, a Saudi government spokesman has said. In December, Saudi authorities arrested a further 28 people believed to be plotting attacks on Mecca and Medina during the Hajj pilgrimage.

Businesses in the Arabian Gulf should be on constant alert to the threat of terrorism, and your attention is drawn to the recent guidelines issued by London’s Met Police on indications of possible targeting:
