RIYADH, Dec 28: A Saudi security source denied the report of Britain’s newspaper Mail on Sunday which reported quoting a British MP that Saudi authorities have arrested two suicide pilots who intended to collide two small tourist planes with a plane of British Airways full of passengers.
The paper’s report added that the two planes were charged with explosives near King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh, noting that the British Foreign Office and British Airways could not confirm the report.
The source said that some foreign newspapers are regrettably accustomed to publishing such baseless news reports for instigation and harm.
