RIYADH — Ethiopian authorities arrested Sunday six Saudis for distributing charity to Muslims in Addis Ababa, saying their act amounted to a form of terror financing.

A senior official at the Saudi Embassy in Addis Ababa told Al-Watan Arabic daily over telephone that all six Saudis were detained while distributing donations.

A lawyer appointed by the Saudi Embassy is following up with investigations and trying to get the Saudis released. — SG
