Major General Mansour Al-Turki.

A man involved in setting fire to a building in Qatif, shooting at a police patrol and attacking an Aramco bus, has been arrested, the Interior Ministry announced on Monday.

Gen. Mansour Al-Turki, spokesman of the ministry, said the man had used Molotov cocktails earlier this month in an attempt to set fire to a security services building. His identity has not been disclosed because a search is underway for his accomplices, he said.

He has also been accused of shooting at officers on patrol, setting fire to an Aramco bus transporting workers in Qatif, and stealing money from an ATM, said Al-Turki.
