Yemen Extradites 8 Terror Suspects
Yemen extradited to the Kingdom yesterday eight Saudi nationals wanted by Riyadh on criminal and terrorism charges, Yemeni security sources said. The sources told Arab News that envoys from the Saudi Interior Ministry flew to Sanaa to bring back the fugitives who had fled to Yemen at different times this year. Among the eight handed over was Bandar ibn Abdul Rahman Al-Ghamdi, who is believed to be a member of a group that planned terror acts in Riyadh. Al-Ghamdi is reportedly among a group of 19 wanted militants listed in a Saudi warrant issued a week before the May 12 suicide bombings in Riyadh which killed 35 people.The Al-Ghamdi family name keeps turning up, doesnât it? He was sent back to Riyadh along with his wife, Nawal Abdullah, and a newly born daughter, Yemeni Interior Ministry officials said. How sweet. The officials did not provide more information about the identities of the other seven suspects or the charges against them. Also handed over were the bodies of two Saudi fugitives killed in Yemen, the officials said, adding that one of them was shot dead by his brother, who was accompanying on his escape to Yemen. The murderer was among those extradited, said the Yemeni officials, giving no details about the other body. Humm, didnât like his brother or didnât want him talking? Posted by: Steve 2003-09-18 |
