7 arrested over links to Arar attack | Kingdom | Saudi Gazette
Saturday, 10 - January 2015
RIYADH — The Interior Ministry on Friday announced the arrests of three Saudis and four Syrians over links to Monday’s attack on Border Guards on the Kingdom’s frontier with Iraq, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Two Saudi Border Guards and their commanding officer were killed in the attack in Suwayf in the northern Arar region.
A ministry spokesman also said three of the four attackers — who were all killed during the raid — were Saudi nationals belonging to a “deviant group.”
They were identified as Mamdouh Nasha Awwadh Al-Mutairi, Abdulrahman Swayyid Said Al-Shamrani and Abdullah Jerais Abdullah Al-Shammari.
An investigation is still under way to determine the nationality of a fourth assailant, a suicide bomber, the spokesman added.
Security forces also seized weapons including AK47 automatic guns, hand grenades, explosive belts and cash including Iraqi and Syrian bank notes, from the scene where the attack took place.
No group claimed responsibility for the assault in a remote desert area next to Iraq’s Anbar province.
