Saudi Arabia has formally designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, in a move that could increase pressure on Qatar whose backing for the group has sparked a row with fellow Gulf monarchies.
The U.S.-allied kingdom has also designated as terrorist the Nusra Front and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, whose fighters are battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the Interior Ministry said in a statement published by state media.
Friday's move appeared to enforce a royal decree last month in which Riyadh, which backs some rebel groups in Syria with money and arms, said it would jail for between three and 20 years any citizen found guilty of fighting in conflicts abroad.
It underscored concern about young Saudis hardened by battle against Assad coming home to target the ruling Al Saud royal family - as has happened after the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Saudi Arabia's Islamic religious authorities have spoken out against Saudi fighters going to Syria, but the Interior Ministry estimates that around 1,200 Saudis have gone nonetheless.
Last month's decree said a committee would be set up to determine the groups to be outlawed. The ministry's statement on Friday said the groups mentioned were those the committee had agreed on and that had been approved by the authorities.

The intelligence on that likely came from all over the place. Because those missiles started in Syria.
Don’t even think that.
Huma still works as the director of Hillary’s transition team helping Hillary adjust to private life and Bill Clinton’s foundation. At least that is what Wikipedia says.
Also says Huma is a practicing Muslim. Since when does a practicing Muslim marry a Jew?
and Barack Obama hand picks Muslim Brotherhood operatives to be his actual advisors who come daily to the White House. Obama is terrorist in chief.
“Since when does a practicing Muslim marry a Jew?” or any American marrying a Muslim Brotherhood operative? Bill Clinton officiated at the wedding, likely set up by the Clintons, who maybe convinced them both they’d get to their goals more easily. In the case of the Muslim Brotherhood it is calling the shots of the U.S. in its interaction with the Muslim Brotherhood, which exists to take over the West and make Muslim Law the law of the land. In the case of Wiener - maybe he thought it would show how broadminded he is. So broadminded, his brains hung out.. among other things
