Saudi Interior minister, Prince Nayef Ibn Abdel Aziz, said his country trusts the way Moroccan authorities are handling the case of three Saudis who are being tried in Morocco for links with Al Qaida.

Prince Nayef, who voiced his country's stance in a press conference held in Jeddah, said that Morocco is keeping his country informed as the investigation unfolds, emphasizing his "full trust in the Moroccan judicial system."
