 [Arab News] Soddy Arabia on Sunday published a list of 47 wanted terror suspects abroad who are believed to be planning attacks in the country. The Kingdom has asked for Interpol's help to track them down. Spokesman for the Interior Ministry Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki said most of the 47 suspects, all Saudi nationals, left the country illegally.
"A number of them pose a big danger as they are involved in Al-Qaeda terrorist operations. We passed a list of them to Interpol last Wednesday," Al-Turki told news hounds.
He said the suspects are aged between 18 and 40. "We have got information that 16 of them are in Yemen, 27 in Afghanistan and Pakistain, and four in Iraq," he added.
This is the fifth list of wanted Orcs and similar vermin issued by the ministry since Al-Qaeda beturbanned goons carried out a series of attacks inside the Kingdom that began in 2003. The first list included 19, the second 26, the third 36 and the fourth 85.
"We have published this list to emphasize the security agencies' resolve to track them down and punish them," Al-Turki said, adding that the ministry would give special consideration to those suspects who surrender to the authorities.
He said security agents are not sure whether the suspects mentioned in the new list belonged to the 19 terror cells uncovered by authorities in November 2010. Police have jugged 149 terror suspects who belong to the cells.

he believed up to three persons in the new list have connections with these terror cells. "These suspects have been trying to form cells, recruit young men and help wanted Orcs and similar vermin leave the Kingdom," said Al-Turki.
The front man said the ministry had received information that some of the suspects were playing a leadership role in Al-Qaeda. "We have not listed Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz Al-Jasser, who is No. 1 in the new list, in any previous list because we list people only after receiving enough evidence about their role in the terror network," he added.
He said the ministry has not received an original picture of Ahmed bin Muhammad Al-Suwaid, who is No. 2 on the list. "We have drawn a picture that closely resembles him to present it to Interpol. We have issued arrest orders for all suspects along with evidence for their involvement in various crimes," he said.
Al-Turki said the ministry will issue fresh lists whenever it has information about wanted criminals to protect the country's security and stability. He also commended the Saudi society for its cooperation in the government's fight against terrorism and extremism.
The ministry announced a reward of SR7 million for those who provide information leading to the prevention of a terror attack, SR5 million for information leading to the arrest of a terror cell and SR1 million for information leading to the arrest of a terrorist.
The Justice Ministry announced Saturday that by the end of December, 765 people suspected of having links with Al-Qaeda had been tried and sentenced, adding that the suspects appealed 325 of the 442 verdicts issued against them.
Al-Turki referred to Al-Qaeda's efforts to recruit children including orphans to carry out terrorist operations inside and outside the Kingdom. He disclosed the ministry's plan to present a television program on how Al-Qaeda recruited two orphans.
He also downplayed suggestions that family ties were the main factor in helping Al-Qaeda recruitment.
"There are different reasons such as friendship and use of Internet websites. We don't have any information about family relationship of suspects in the new list and previous lists," he said.
He highlighted the role of the Internet in spreading Al-Qaeda's deviant ideology. "According to one study, the first step for joining Al-Qaeda and subscribing to its ideology is the Internet," he said.
He said the ministry would not announce the name of any terror suspect or those killed among them without informing their families. "We also seek the help of families to encourage beturbanned goons to surrender themselves to Saudi authorities," he said.
He also urged beturbanned goons to surrender at Saudi embassies abroad, adding that five wanted suspects had surrendered to Saudi authorities last year.
The general denied reports that terror suspects were undergoing military training inside the Kingdom. "We could not arrest these suspects because they have left the country. They may undergo training abroad to attack the Kingdom or any other country."
Maj. Gen. Al-Turki said the youth who was jugged along with the wanted Death Eater Al-Storied Baghdadi, who was rubbed out at a checkpoint in Wadi Al-Dawasser, belonged to Al-Qaeda as he tried to cover up Al-Storied Baghdadi and was helping him to escape from the Kingdom. He said Al-Storied Baghdadi was involved in recruiting young men to Al-Qaeda and helping beturbanned goons leave the Kingdom.
Speaking about educational qualification of Death Eaters, he said most of them did not have good education. He sought the assistance of foreign countries to arrest the wanted suspects. Four of the 47 suspects left the Kingdom using travel documents of others while 13 left by crossing borders illegally. "The remaining 30 left legally but we did not know whether they belonged to the deviant group and the Kingdom will not prevent any person from abroad without any evidence against him."
The following are the suspects: 1) Ahmed Abdul Aziz Al-Jasser, 2) Ahmed Muhammad Al-Suwaid, 3) Anas Ali Al-Nashwan, 4) Bassim Salim Al-Sabilah, 5) Bassim Muhammad Al-Johani, 6) Bassam Ibrahim Al-Suleimani, 7) Bandar Mishal Al-Otaibi, 8) Turki Saad Al-Shahrani, 9) Turki Hadi Al-Qahtani, 10) Hussein Saleh Al-Bahri, 11) Hamza Muhammad Arishi, 12) Khaled Ali Al-Qahtani, 13) Khaled Hadal Al-Qahtani, 14) Zaam Saeed Al-Otaibi, 15) Saad Qaed Al-Maqati, 16) Suleiman Ahmed Al-Hamdan, 17) Saleh Abdul Aziz Al-Laheeb, 18) Adel Radi Al-Harbi, 19) Adel Saleh Al-Qumaishi, 20) Abdul Rahman Abdul Aziz Al-Faraj, 21) Abdul Rahman Fayad Al-Otaibi, 22) Abdul Rahman Muhammad Al-Johani, 23) Abdussalam Abdul Aziz Al-Faraj, 24) Abdul Aziz Muhammad Al-Aseeri, 25) Abdullah Humaid Al-Jadaani, 26) Abdullah Suleiman Al-Dhabah, 27) Abdullah Abdul Hadi Al-Johani, 28) Abdullah Ali Al-Suwaid, 29) Abdullah Muhammad Al-Maqati, 30) Abdul Majeed Faris Al-Otaibi, 31) Abdul Majeed Faisal Al-Shahri, 32) Amr Suleiman Al-Ali, 33) Fahd Owaid Al-Maabadi, 34) Fawaz Ayed Al-Otaibi, 35) Fawaz Owaid Al-Maabadi, 36) Faisal Muetad Al-Harbi, 37) Miteb Hamad Al-Jeraiwi, 38) Miteb Saeed Al-Amri, 39) Muhammad Saleem Barikan, 40) Muhammad Farhan Al-Malki, 41) Muhammad Mufreh Al-Zahrani, 42) Maran Farhan Al-Otaibi, 43) Muejib Muhammad Al-Qahtani, 44) Hashim Muhammad Al-Hindi, 45) Walid Jarboue Al-Harbi, 46) Walid Humayed Al-Waladi, and 47) Yasser Dakhil Al-Harbi. |
