| Saudi Arabia's Specialised Criminal Court jailed six people for up to six years for security offences including travelling abroad to fight, adopting militant ideology and "breaking obedience to the ruler", state media reported late on Sunday. The kingdom imprisoned dozens of people last month in security trials amid fears that the conflicts in Iraq and Syria will radicalise a new generation of young Saudis. Saudi Arabia has detained over 11,000 people since a wave of attacks from 2003-06 against government and foreign targets in the conservative Islamic kingdom staged by al Qaeda militants who had fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. |
