A Saudi court Wednesday sentenced 13 people to up to 14 years in prison for backing "terrorist organizations", training with Al-Qaeda and luring young people to fight abroad, media reported.

The 13 -- nine Saudis, two Jordanians, an Egyptian and one Syrian -- were convicted of providing support to people wanted for security reasons, and "supporting terrorism, as well as terrorist acts and organizations", the official SPA news agency said.

Some defendants were charged with undergoing weapons training at "Al-Qaeda bases", SPA said.  

Charges also included "coordinating to arrange the travel of misled youths to areas of trouble and fighting", the agency said, without elaborating.

One defendant received a 14-year jail sentence, while the remainder were jailed for between three and nine years.

It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia has been supporting for a long time the terrorist groups in various countries, especially in Syria and Lebanon.
