Five suspects, including two women, have been arrested in Wadi Al-Dawasir Governorate south of Riyadh, according to Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki, Official Spokesman of the Ministry of Interior. According to information received, a 2009 model (Ford) Expedition SUV coming from Sharourah and heading to Riyadh was stopped at a road security checkpoint in Wadi Al-Dawasir and the suspects were arrested. The SUV was driven by a Saudi man in his twenties, accompanied by two women. The driver looked very uneasy and nervous while the security men were checking his identification papers. On conducting a quick inspection, they found two men were also hiding in the vehicle – one was in the rear and the other under the two women's feet. They were armed but surrendered. They were apprehended with two AK-47 assault rifles, four magazines and 114 live rifle bullets in their possession. Sources told Okaz/Saudi Gazette that one of the hiding men is a wanted militant on the list of 48 wanted terrorists announced earlier by the Ministry of Interior and the second man, who was hiding in the vehicle, is also a wanted militant but not on the announced list of wanted terrorists. All the five suspects were handed over to the security authorities in Riyadh on Wednesday. Maj. Gen. Al-Turki told Okaz/Saudi Gazette that the persons arrested Tuesday at Wadi Al-Dawasir checkpoint are being investigated to determine their identity and intentions. __
