22

Saudi authorities have arrested 18 people on suspicion of espionage, according to the country's interior ministry.

Among the suspects are 16 Saudis, Iranian and Lebanese. The arrests took place simultaneously in four regions of the country, including in the capital Riyadh and Mecca, transmit online media.

According to the authorities, persons suspected of espionage collected information for an unnamed foreign state about the vital objects of Saudi Arabia. The Al-Arabia TV channel claims that the spy network operated in the interests of Iran.

Among those arrested who were representatives of one religious community were employees of the state oil company Aramco, as well as a doctor and a Shiite theologian.

    After a quick and "fair" trial, the executioner there soon chops off their heads so dexterously and quickly that even the most keen "human rights activist" who feeds on crumbs from the ovsky table will not notice anything. And the "free" and "independent" press, too, accidentally will not pay attention.

      Recently, 18 spies involved in the killing of physicists were arrested in Iran. Iran accused those arrested of working for Israel. And apparently in retaliation, Saudi Arabia arrested 18 citizens in one of the Shiite societies.

          If only the exchange of lives - mutual indicative decapitation, as evidence of humanism and liberalism in these countries.
          Especially the beacon of democracy and freedom, bearing a good idea in a neighboring country - the SA.

        Why Saudi Arabia?
        Does Israeli counterintelligence work so badly that it cannot find spies on its territory?
        Or vice versa - it works so well that as much as you want, look for it and you will not find spies, because they are not there?

      I have long been proposing to fight these adversaries, their methods, and in their territory. The poor people of the SA, how much can these dictators endure in power. Is it really democracy in a country in which people cut heads in squares and make it out of this show?

    The Saudi Arabian authorities only suspect, and Al-Arabiya TV channel is already claiming.

      Saliva can end, in particular, as a result of dehydration.
      Dehydration can be fatal.
      Let them spit!

      As far as I am aware of biology issues, especially profuse salivation is noted in rabid animals, whose further fate is very sad.

    It’s clear that when in power they see spies everywhere, or they come up with it specially. divert public attention. In addition, all objectionable can be transplanted under the guise of spies and for a long time

    When information of the type follows - worked for an unnamed state, then political bargaining is most likely assumed. But with whom and against whom?

    Well done, work on all fronts! The West is preparing a public opinion attack to attack Iran and using even such exotic news!
    If the cable comes off at the elevator and people die (for example, in Berlin), you can safely state the hand of Iran !!!
