Saudi Arabia issued a statement announcing the blacklisting of Saudi Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Jebha al-Nusra and the Howthis as terrorist groups. Riyadh also gave elements of this group fighting outside of Saudi Arabia 15 days to return to the country.
This statement was issued by the Saudi Minister of Interior based on orders issued by the Saudi king to prevent war erupting outside of Saudi Arabia.
This list of terrorist groups includes: al-Qaeda organization and all its affiliates; Muslim Brotherhood; Islamic State of Iraq and Syria; Jebha al-Nusra; Hezbollah in Saudi soil and the Howthi groups.
Saudi citizens widely welcomed this statement.
