Federal prosecutors have issued orders to arrest a group of people who have threatened state security, according to state news agency Wam.

The prosecutor general, Salim Saeed Al Kubaish, has ordered the arrest and interrogation of an unspecified number of people who are running an organisation "which aims to commit crimes against the security and constitution of the country and the basic principles of rule, and who also have connections with foreign organizations and agendas."

Investigations are underway to "expose the conspiracy of this organisation and its members in full," he said.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood

Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
