RIYADH, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia said on Friday the 19 cells whose members it had arrested had links to al Qaeda in Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan, and included members of Arab, African and South Asian nationalities.
"These cells have links with al Qaeda that is disturbing security in Yemen, and with Somalia and organisations in Afghanistan," the Interior Ministry spokesman told reporters at a news conference on Friday. (Reporting by Ulf Laessing and Raissa Kasolowsky; editing by Andrew Dobbie)
