December 21, 2021   

(Arab News) The Saudi Arabian embassy in the United States has denied in a post on Twitter that a “potential terrorist” recently arrested by US authorities is a Saudi citizen.

This comes after American authorities falsely claimed that a suspect arrested in Arizona late last week was a 21-year-old Saudi national.

The Saudi embassy stated that it has contacted the relevant authorities in America on the matter, stressing that the person arrested for being a possible terrorist is not Saudi Arabian.

“We will continue to coordinate with the US govt and bring forward any facts on this matter,” said the embassy on Twitter.
