JEDDAH: Three men allegedly belonging to the Turki Al-Dandani terror cell told judges at a criminal court in Riyadh on Monday that preachers who issued takfiri (branding opponents “infidels”) religious edicts and encouraged youths to take part in jihad in Afghanistan should be arrested and brought to justice.
The defendants said preachers who previously prohibited people from watching TV channels are now competing with one another to appear on TV to make money.
They refuted claims that all military camps in Afghanistan belonged to Al-Qaeda or linked with the terrorist organization’s late leader Osama Bin Laden. They reiterated their allegiance to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah.
The court heard the replies of Defendant Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 to the charges made against them by the public prosecutor. Two of them requested the court to give them more time to provide a reply, a request that was granted.
