By: Abdulali

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: The Saudi government has ordered the deployment of state-run mosques in the war against terror Al-Qaida network.

Islamic Affairs Ministry of the kingdom has directed state-employed mosque preachers to condemn what officials termed the terrorist threat. The ministry has helped draft the content of anti-Al Qaida sermons for Friday prayers at mosques.

More than 15,000 preachers have been employed by the Islamic Affairs Ministry. Thousands of others operate unofficial mosques, many of which were believed to be inspired by Al Qaida.

The directive was sent in wake of the arrest of 172 Al Qaida operatives. The government said the operatives, financed by tens of millions of dollars, sought to target airlines, oil facilities, military bases and public figures.
