Riyadh, June 1 (TNS): An Arabian faction of Al-Qaeda has warned Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over his “sinful projects”, Saudi media reported.
Prince Mohammed has changed many policies in ultraconservative Saudi Arabia, including reinstating cinemas and allowing women to drive.
The Yemen-based militant group said, “The new era of Bin Salman replaced mosques with movie theatres.”
He “substituted books that belonged to the imams… with absurdities of the atheists and secularists from the east and the west and opened the door wide for corruption and moral degradation,” it said.
The Sunni militant group AQAP has flourished amid a complex war in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia heads a military alliance battling Shiite Huthi rebels.
Yemen’s conflict has left nearly 10,000 people dead, tens of thousands wounded, and millions on the brink of famine.
The United Nations has called Yemen world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
