RIYADH (dpa) - Police in the Saudi capital have discovered the "information centre" of al-Qaeda terrorists in Saudi Arabia, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

According to the report in the Saudi Okaz newspaper, a raid in the al-Suweidi part of the capital uncovered the headquarters of the Sawt al-Jihad Islamic website, which in the past has disseminated several statements credited to the al-Qaeda network in the Arabian Peninsula.

Two men were arrested, both of whose names appeared on a list of 26 suspected al-Qaeda members released by the authorities in December.

Saudi police continued Tuesday to search for the body of US hostage Paul Johnson, who was beheaded last week by al-Qaeda terrorists.

According to the newspaper, the police also uncovered tailor shops used to make the uniforms worn by the extremists.
