AUTHORITIES in the United Arab Emirates have broken up an al-Qaeda cell comprising seven Arabs who were plotting attacks in the Gulf state, an official statement said.
The cell was "plotting acts that would have harmed the security of the country, its citizens and foreign residents," said Thursday's statement carried by WAM state news agency.
It was also "trying to extend its activities to reach some other countries in the region," it said.
An unnamed official added that the group was seeking to recruit new members and "propagating works of al-Qaeda."
The suspects were being questioned by state security prosecutors ahead of their trial, said the official.
Ninety-four people are already on trial in the UAE on charges of attempting to seize power in the Gulf state.
The UAE is one of the most stable countries in the Middle East, which has not seen any attacks by al-Qaeda, and has been spared in the wave of Arab Spring uprisings.
The population of the UAE, estimated at over eight million, is nearly 90 per cent foreigners lured by work opportunities in the wealthy country.
