Hashemi in Saudi Arabia
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - A Saudi Foreign Ministry official says Iraq’s fugitive vice president has arrived in the kingdom after a four-day official visit to neighboring Qatar.
He's not going home any time soon. Might soon find him in Idi Amin's guest house...
Iraq has issued an arrest warrant for Tariq al-Hashemi on terror charges and called on Qatar to extradite him so he can stand trial in Baghdad. Qatar refused the request.

The Saudi official says al-Hashemi arrived in the country on Wednesday and is meeting with the kingdom’s Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the press.

Al-Hashemi is the top Sunni official in Iraq’s Shia-dominated government. He has been taken refuge in the self-ruled Kurdish region in northern Iraq since the December arrest warrant.
