Representatives from the international press and delegates who are participating in the Counter terrorism Conference in Riyadh met with members of the Shoura (Consultative) Council led by Chairman Dr. Saleh Bin-Humaid during its weekly meeting yesterday.
The chairman welcomed the press and seemed comfortable fielding questions, which covered nearly every issue in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from upcoming elections and the role of women to domestic terrorism.
In his speech, Dr. Bin-Humaid said the conference reveals the great dangers of terrorism and its global, blood-thirsty reach.
During the session, Dr. Bin-Humaid said the council is following the terrorist attacks that struck the country. The council, he said, has created committees to observe the situation and seek solutions by conducting studies and research on terrorism.
"The committee is doing massive research on this issue, and it has questioned many people related to terrorism, including those who were taken into custody for issues related to terrorism," Dr. Bin-Humaid was quoted as saying by Arab News.
