The State Security apparatus of the United Arab Emirates has announced the dismantling of a terrorist organization and the arrest of its members for their involvement in secret activities that aimed to undermine national unity and destabilize stability, through planning to carry out systematic terrorist and sabotage acts on the country's territory.
The Emirates News Agency stated that investigations with the organization's members revealed its connection to "Wilayat al-Faqih" in Iran. It also showed that the organization's members adopted extremist terrorist ideologies and ideas that threaten internal security, as they carried out recruitment operations through secret meetings, according to a plan coordinated with external parties with the aim of reaching sensitive sites. According to subsequent monitoring and investigations, the organization's members held secret meetings inside and outside the country with terrorist elements and suspicious organizations, with the aim of conveying misleading ideas to Emirati youth and recruiting them for external loyalties to incite against the country's foreign policy and internal procedures, and attempting to portray the country in a negative light, in addition to collecting money informally and transferring it to suspicious external parties. The agency added that the charges against the organization's members include establishing and creating a secret organization and managing the organization on the country's arena and signing allegiance and external loyalties and harming national unity and social peace. The same source pointed out that the State Security apparatus emphasized its continued firm response to any threats to public security, calling on citizens and residents to report any suspicious activity through official channels, in a way that enhances the security and stability system.
