Saudi authorities have arrested 46 suspected members of a terrorist cell linked to a number of attacks in the Kingdom, the Ministry of Interior said on Sunday.

The suspects including 32 Saudis and 14 expatriates from Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Egypt, Jordan and Sudan, ministry spokesperson Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki said.

The suspects were cornered in two hideouts in Jeddah, one in Harazat district and another in Naseem.

Investigators found that the terror cell was behind the suicide bombing on a police station outside the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah and an explosion at the parking lot of Dr. Sulaiman Fakeeh Hospital in Jeddah on July 4, 2016.

In the Madinah attack, four policemen were killed and five others were seriously wounded. In the Jeddah incident, the suicide bomber managed to kill only himself when he detonated his suicide vest as he was being confronted by a security guard. Probers have suspected that the bomber’s real target may have been the US Consulate General, adjacent to the hospital.
