Authorities in Saudi Arabia on Friday claimed to have arrested one of the kingdom's most wanted militants.

Fares al-Zahrani, who was captured on Thursday, was one of the heads of  "strife and an advocate of takfeer
and bombings...," an official statement said.
 
Takfeer means to brand other Muslims as infidels to legitimise violence against them.

An official spokesman said another person was arrested along with Zahrani, but his identity would not be disclosed "for the sake of the (national) interest."
