Terrorist Recruitment And Radicalization In Saudi Arabia

Several works have been written about Saudi Arabia’s role in the recruitment of Jihadi forces to ‎send to other countries. This is while studies are rarely written about the situation of the ‎Islamists inside Saudi Arabia. In this paper the biography of 240 people from Saudi Arabia is ‎examined and these questions are answered: who was joining the al-Qaeda organization inside ‎the peninsula? And to what extent are they different from other jihadist countries? In the answer, ‎a general outline of the historical roots and bases of terrorist movements in Saudi Arabia in 2003 ‎was presented. In the second step, statistics on the distribution of militants will be presented ‎based on criteria such as socio-economic backgrounds and their geographical roots and tribes.‎
