CAIRO, Egypt - Police have arrested 172 militants who were plotting to attack Saudi Arabia's oil fields, the Saudi state TV channel Al-Ekhbariyah reported Friday.
The channel broadcast footage of the large quantity of weapons of all kinds that were discovered buried in the desert.
Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Mansour al-Turki told the rival Al-Arabiya channel that the militants included non-Saudis and that one cell planned to storm a prison and release the inmates.
