Alwaght - Saudi regime has arrested 431 suspected members of the ISIS terrorist group, reportedly stopping their planned attacks in the kingdom.
The Saudi regime Interior Ministry said that the suspected terrorists had been arrested over the “past few weeks” as part of an anti-terror operation, and accused them of being involved in numerous deadly attacks.
Saudi regime media reported that most arrested terrorists were actually Saudi nationals, as well as from nine other countries.
Some of the terrorists were tasked with training suicide bombers, while others intended to create explosive belts, according to reports.
Some of those arrested were allegedly involved in a suicide bombing in the eastern village of al-Qudeeh in May, which killed 22 Shiite civilians and amounted to the deadliest terror attack on the Saudi lands in over a decade.
Why is this ironic from the Saudi regime?
Well, as a matter of fact, until today the Saudi regime has been known as the number one supporter of ISIS and other terrorist groups in the West Asia. But it seems when it comes to interior issues Saudi regime is being very cautious and worries that the monster that it has been feeding all these years will destroy it.
Even the West knows that the Saudi regime was complicit in the ISIS takeover of much of northern Iraq, and is stoking an escalating Sunni-Shiite conflict across the Islamic world. The British ‘The Independent’ revealed an ominous conversation between Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi ambassador to Washington by then and former head of Saudi intelligence, and the former head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, sometime before 9/11. Bandar told him: "The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally 'God help the Shiite'. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them."
The fatal moment predicted by Prince Bandar may now have come for many Shiite, with the Saudi regime playing an important role in bringing it about by supporting the terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Since the capture of Mosul by ISIS on 10 June, Shiite men, women, and children have been killed in villages in south of Kirkuk, and Shiite air force cadets machine-gunned and buried in mass graves near Tikrit.
There is also no doubt that substantial and sustained funding from private donors in Saudi Arabia, to which the authorities have turned a blind eye, has played a central role in the ISIS surge into certain areas of Iraq and Syria. Obviously such things do not happen spontaneously. Also, there are clear Saudi regime fingerprints behind the support of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. This has been viewed through the weapons, chemicals, money, and equipments that were caught with ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Syria, which were clearly supplied by the Saudi regime.
Saudi sympathy for anti-Shiite "militancy" is identified in leaked US official documents. The then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote in December 2009 in a cable released by Wikileaks that "Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT [Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan] and other terrorist groups." She said that, in so far as Saudi Arabia did act against al-Qa'ida, it was as a domestic threat and not because of its activities abroad.
Saudi Arabia has created a Frankenstein's monster over which it is rapidly losing control. The same is true of its allies such as Turkey which has been a vital back-base for ISIS and al-Nusra Front by keeping the 510-mile-long Turkish-Syrian border open.
As for the Saudi regime, it may come to regret its support for ISIS in Syria and Iraq as the terrorists’ social media began to speak of the House of Saud as its next target.
"God help the Shiite," said Prince Bandar, but, partly thanks to him, the Saudi regime’s hypocritical policies, and the US-Saudi created terrorist group ‘ISIS’, “God help Al-Saud” seems to be upcoming.
