Al-Marsad Newspaper: Researcher Hassan Al-Mustafa narrated the details of his arrest at the airport among the suspects in the 1996 Al-Khobar bombing.
He explained during an interview on the “Al-Liwan” program broadcast on the Gulf Rotana channel that he was traveling to Dubai and while he was at the old Dhahran Airport, the employee stamped the passport and then canceled the stamp. Pointing out that he called a pharmacist he knew and asked him to tell his cousin that he had been arrested and taken to prison in Scheme 91. Pointing out that he still remembers the first night’s dinner, which was “halva, salty cheese and olives.”
Al-Mustafa confirmed that he was arrested not because he was wanted, but because he was on the list of suspects.
He attributed the reasons for his suspicion that he was influenced by the imam. He has a wide network of relations, and therefore large numbers of prisoners were his relatives, friends or colleagues in the study, so it was normal for his name to be mentioned in the investigations, in addition to his travel more than once to Syria and Lebanon, and this was similar to the itinerary of the trainees.
