Saudis arrest bombing suspect

SAUDI ARABIA yesterday said it had arrested an alleged mastermind of the deadly suicide bombings in Riyadh along with four other suspects, as newspapers said all five were believed to be members of al-Qaida.

The US embassy warned that more terror attacks in the kingdom may be imminent after the three bombing attacks on May 12 at foreigners’ housing compounds in the capital Riyadh which killed 34 people, including eight Americans.

“Five people arrested yesterday are among the suspects in the Riyadh bombings and we believe one of them is a mastermind of the blasts,” a Saudi source said.
