Jeddah, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Jun, 2017 ) : Saudi Royal Navy has thwarted an attempted terrorist attack on a major offshore oilfield in the Arabian Gulf, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said.
According to the agency, three boats bearing flags in white and red flags rushed to the Marjan offshore oil field off the Eastern Province just after midnight on Friday.
