A Saudi citizen was among several terror suspects who were arrested by authorities on British soil for his involvement in potential terror plots.
Security officials arrested 20-year-old Tarek Hassani, a medical school student, and four other members of the same terror network after Hassan posted a suspicious Tweet that read: “I smell imminent war,” according to the British Daily Mail.
Reports also indicate that the other arrested terror group members, led by Hassani, include 20-year-old Yasser Mahmoud from Egypt, 21-year-old Jawasi Abuzaid from Libya, 20-year-old Radwan Khidr from Kurdistan and a physics student of Arab origin whose name has yet to be released.
Hassani, whose mother is Moroccan, had previously tweeted that all Muslims living in the United Kingdom, or the “land of the infidels,” as he called it, should leave and return to live in Islamic territories.
Hassani had visited Syria while he was living in Sudan, where he was a teacher at a college in Khartoum, before moving to the United Kingdom to study.
Meanwhile, a source at the Saudi Embassy in London said the embassy has not received any official notification from British authorities regarding the arrest of a Saudi national on charges of terrorism.
