Saudi Arabia detains three senior members of royal family
Three senior members of Saudi Arabia's royal family, including the king's brother, have been arrested for unexplained reasons, US media report.
Two of the men were among the kingdom's most influential figures.
The detentions have been linked to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
In 2017 dozens of Saudi royal figures, ministers and businessmen were confined to the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Riyadh after the crown prince ordered their arrests.
Mohammed bin Salman is considered the de facto ruler of the kingdom, after he was named crown prince by his father in 2016.
