Al-Fifi will recount the details of how the plot was hatched at an Al-Qaeda base in a mountain in Yemen in the Homumuna program at 8.45 p.m.

The interview will also be carried by Saudi Channel 2 and Al-Ekhbariya.

A suicide bomber, Abdullah Asiri, blew himself up in an attempt to kill the prince in September 2009 at his home in Obhur, Jeddah. No one but the suicide bomber died in the explosion.

Al-Fifi is a repentant terrorist who returned to the Kingdom from voluntary exile in Yemen and underwent rehabilitation at Prince Muhammad bin Naif Center for Religious Advice.

The Homumuna program is also to air details of terrorist attempts to recruit small children, some as young as six, for terrorist purposes. Two children are also to appear on the television program.

Meanwhile, Saudi intelligence has learned that two non-Saudi children aged six and seven were lured into a terrorist cell and used to poison the minds of orphans with anti-Saudi rhetoric at an orphanage in the Kingdom.

“Al-Qaeda never hesitates to recruit children, even if they are just three years old to incite young people against the land of the two holy mosques and persuade them to carry out criminal acts,” said Interior Ministry Spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki.

“Another ploy that the terrorists employ is to go to the charities where dead bodies are washed to recruit supporters,” he said. No further details of the children were given.
