 A Saudi man suspected of involvement in the killing of four French tourists in the kingdom earlier this year has been arrested, the Interior Ministry announced Sunday. The four French holidaymakers were among a group of nine others attacked by militants while on a desert trip in Saudi Arabia in February, the first attack on foreigners by suspected al Qaeda militants in the kingdom for 2-1/2 years.The tourists had been ambushed by the gunmen. They were camping in the desert in the scenic western part of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said Abdallah bin Sayer al-Mohammadi, the last suspect wanted in relation to the attack, had been captured as part of a security operation that began earlier this month in a remote area northwest of the Muslim holy city of Medina.
