Shoura Council member Maj. Gen. Nasser bin Anzi Al-Shaibani said that the possession of explosives by youth belonging to terrorist organizations is a dangerous matter, especially as the explosives seized by on Monday have the capacity to destroy large areas.

He said the seized materials are chemical TNT explosives and can cause far-reaching devastation.

“These terrorists cannot put together these chemical materials without the presence of guidance of external groups and instructions on how to use them,” he said.

He said security agencies in the Kingdom have the capacity to deal with these explosives, and has the technology to defuse such explosions and weapons.

He urged the establishment of a new body for monitoring all social networking sites. This is more so as it has become clear that these sites have become the primary and most dangerous means for appealing to youth and brainwashing them, including those innocent youth living in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki, official spokesman of the Ministry of Interior, revealed that the five terrorists whose names were announced on Monday work as part of terrorist cells and do not necessarily know one another.

In the same context, new details have been revealed about terrorist Aqeel bin Ameesh Al-Aqeeli Al-Mutairi, who was killed in a clash with security forces at Al-Falah in Riyadh on Monday.

Aqeel was born in the district of Al-Bakeeriya in Al-Qassim, moved away with his mother, and later returned to his hometown with his father to work for the Saudi Electricity Company. In 2004, he was arrested for his activity on the Internet benefiting Al-Qaeda and when his father died while he was in prison, he was allowed to attend the funeral at their home in Al-Bakeeriya.

Al-Mutairi, who is the eldest of his siblings, was released for good conduct and resumed work, only to turn once again to terrorist activities. He fled to Iraq, where he was arrested and jailed once again for four years. He went missing again from his family before he was announced dead in Riyadh during the recent shootout.

The Ministry of Interior said Al-Mutairi was killed when he opened fire on security forces who had raided the apartment he was staying in Riyadh’s Al-Falah neighborhood.
