Saudi Arabia deems Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah terrorist groups
By Jack Khoury and News Agencies | Mar. 7, 2014 | 4:22 PM
Saudi Arabia on Friday declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group, Al Arabiya News Channel reported.
The kingdom also included Lebanon-based Shi'ite group Hezbollah on its terrorism list along with the Syria-based Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the Nusra Front, an Al Qaida branch operating in Syria and Lebanon that was created in 2012.
According to the report, hundreds of Saudi fighters are believed to be members of ISIS and the Nusra Front in Syria.
Saudi authorities are urging those fighters to return home and have given them 15 days to do so.
