Saudi Arabia Arrests 28 al-Qaeda Terrorists

Via Report on Arrakis:

With all the bad press that Saudi Arabia has been receiving in the past 6 months, 180 lashes for coffee, death sentence for 'witch' and 180 lashes for rape victim, they needed some PR. Saudi Arabia arrests 28 al Qaida terrorists.
Apparently the group was in direct contact with Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The suspects were using a recording from al Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri to help raise money from ordinary Saudis, SPA said, citing a source in the ministry of interior....

..."The bearer of this message is one of our trusted brothers, therefore please give him your donations for hundreds of the families of captives and martyrs in Pakistan and Afghanistan," Zawahri said in the audio recording aired by state television.

Meanwhile, Fouad al-Farhan is still being held by Saudi Authorities for blogging.
