LIST OF 47 WANTED MILITANTS ISSUED
IN SAUDIA
Saudi Arabia interior ministry officials said, on Sunday 01/09/2011, they have issued international arrest warrants for 47 suspected Al Qaeda fighters who are thought to have been trying to build “terrorist cells” in the kingdom (see also – Saudi most-wanted).
The list includes names of Saudis who hold senior functions inside Al Qaeda and have tried to recruit in the country, authorities said. They are believed to be hiding in Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Iraq. 16 had left Saudi Arabia for Yemen, while 27 were last reported to be in Pakistan or Afghanistan, and four in Iraq, the minister said.
“The security follow-up, on those wanted by the security authorities, led to monitoring 47 Saudis who are now outside the kingdom and provided evidence that proves that they follow the deviant [Al Qaeda] ideology and efforts to support its activities,” Mansour al-Turki, the interior ministry spokesman, announced on Sunday.
