RIYADH, June 29 (KUNA) -- Saudi Minister of Interior Prince Nayef bin Abdel
Aziz Al-Saud praised here on Sunday positive cooperation between Saudi Arabia
and Yemen in fighting terrorism.
He stressed, in a statement published by "Okath" daily here today, on
significance of cooperation among all members of the society, of intellectuals
and thinkers, in order to confront strictly and toughly misleading radical
ideas that lead to terrorism.
Prince Nayef added that "continous achievements in fighting terrorism and
hunting down terrorists are due to directives of the Saudi leadership and its
tremendous support for the security services."
The Saudi authority declared, last week, arrest of 700 persons of various
nationalities as a part of a crackdown on suspected terrorists. Up to 520 of
the suspects remained in custody. (end)
