Saudi Interior Ministry announced Saturday the arrest of three members of Islamic State (IS) militant group in connection with the murder of a retired senior Saudi officer, Saudi News Agency reported.
The three suspects, two Yemenis and one Saudi, shot dead a retired Brigadier, Ahmed Al Asiri, several months ago in Saudi-Yemeni border city of Jazan.
The police have found the murder weapon at one of the suspects' house. They admitted that the killing was under directives from IS.
This murder was one of a series of terrorist crimes, including blasts and shootings, that targeted policemen and civilians by IS sleeping cells in recent years.
Many parts of the country have adopted strict measures to prevent its nationals from joining militant groups in disturbed areas such as Syria and Iraq.
