Saudis hold 10 for 'terror funds'

"Ten people have been arrested in Saudi Arabia on suspicion of funding terror-related activities, the interior ministry has said. The arrests follow evidence in a high-level US report that Saudi Arabia has been a source of funding for the insurgency in Iraq.

Nine Saudis and a foreign national resident in the country were held in three raids in Jeddah and Medina. It is unclear if the 10 have links to al-Qaeda, the ministry said.

They were arrested for collecting money for 'suspicious parties'." More at BBC NEWS.
