Saudi arrests 700 extremists preparing 'oil attacks'

Saudi says arrested 701 militants in past 6 months on suspicion of plotting attacks on oil industry.

RIYADH - OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia has arrested 701 extremists in the past six months on suspicion of plotting attacks on oil industry installations, the interior ministry announced on Wednesday.

Security forces "carried out several operations against followers of the deviant ideology and arrested a total of 701 people of various nationalities," said a ministry spokesman quoted by the official SPA news agency.

Of those arrested since the start of the year, "520 are still being held for their implication in the organisational and ideological plans of the deviant ideology."

Deviant ideology is the term used by Saudi officials to describe Al-Qaeda.

The kingdom has been battling suspected Al-Qaeda militants since they launched a wave of shootings and bombings, many targeting Westerners, in May 2003.
