Saudi Arabia Expanded Witchcraft Police

By 2012, Saudi Arabia had expanded a special religious-police unit created in 2009 to pursue alleged witchcraft. Authorities in Makkah Province charged at least 118 people in 2009, and nine anti-witchcraft bureaus operated across the country by 2011. One Iranian sorcerer claimed that a jinn worked for both Israel's Mossad and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
