Saudis seize 'terror' missiles


Saudi authorities have intensified their search for al-Qaeda suspects
Saudi authorities say they have seized a lorry-load of surface-to-air missiles destined for an unnamed terrorist group.
The consignment was intercepted last month on a desert road near the port city of Jeddah.

Police say the weapons - capable of being used to bring down aircraft - had been smuggled from Yemen.
