Saudi Arabia's new anti-corruption committee dismissed a number of senior ministers, and at least 11 princes and dozens of former ministers have been arrested on corruption charges as part a series of royal decrees, state media reported on Saturday.

The senior ministers who were sacked include Prince Meteb bin Abdullah, the head of the National Guard, and Adel Fakeih, the economy minister.

Abdullah al-Sultan, the commander of the Saudi navy, was replaced by Fahad al-Ghafli.

No official explanation was given for the dismissals.
