The Ministry of Interior said Wednesday that a Saudi had returned to the Kingdom from Africa after contacting the authorities expressing the wish to hand himself in. The statement from ministry spokesman Mansour Al-Turki follows last Sunday's announcement that wanted Al-Qaeda-linked militant Aqil Amish Aqil Al-Mutairi had turned himself in to the authorities.Al-Turki said Wednesday that the ministry was not disclosing the name of the latest returnee, but said he was not on the ministry's February 2009 list of 85 wanted terrorists.
The returning Saudi is 22 years of age, and had gone to Africa for jihad but found it "false", leading him to call his family to arrange his return through the relevant authorities
