A cache of weapons and bombs were found inside the car, the official said. Security also seized fire arms including Kalashnikov rifles, hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenades, and material to make explosives in the raided premise. Passports, identification cards, and flyers were also found.

OMG .. they are going after Mecca

Sounds like they are desperate to make this a Holy War no matter what

There was a battle at the Haj about a decade ago. I believe it was radical Iranians who smuggled in guns and tried to take over some shrine or antoher. It was reported that a hundred people or so died, but some reports but the numbers much higher. Saudi security forces fought a building to building battle through one of the large mosques, lots of innocents were trampled and caught in the crossfire. I believe Iranians were limited or banned from the Haj for a few years.

So I don't think this is a new thing.
