“Police have arrested 28 militants suspected of trying to rebuild the al-Qaida network in Saudi Arabia and start a terror campaign in the kingdom, the government said Monday.

Police had found a message from Ayman al-Zawahri, al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader, on the memory card of one of the men’s mobile phones, urging the militants to collect money for needy families in Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry.” (AP)
