Saudi Arabia said yesterday police had found big caches of explosives and weapons in raids following shootouts this month with suspected Muslim militants.

An Interior Ministry statement, read out on Saudi state television, said police found large caches of explosives, rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, ammunition and machineguns left behind by militants after the gun battles with police on August 11 and 12 in the capital Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia has launched a series of raids in recent months on militants suspected of links to Al Qaeda network since suicide bombings at housing compounds in Riyadh in May.

"It was proven through investigations that behind those criminal acts was a terrorist cell whose members have been identified and who are still being sought," the ministry said in its statement referring to the police firefights with militants two weeks ago.

Or – will it...?
