Moroccans wanted by Saudi authorities for terrorism charges probably illegally entered country

The Moroccan embassy in Riyadh has no records of the two Moroccans who appear in the list of 26 people wanted by Saudi authorities for involvement in the recent terrorist attacks in the country, Moroccan ambassador in Riyadh told MAP adding that the pair have probably illegally entered the country or over-stayed after performing pilgrimage or minor pilgrimage (Oumra).

The statement came after the Saudi interior ministry issued on Saturday a list of 26 people suspected of involvement in the terrorist attacks perpetrated in several regions in Saudi Arabia, warning that anyone who lodges or hides these people will be punished.
