Seventeen Saudis and a Palestinian arrested in Sudan on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist network will probably be extradited, police in Khartoum said. The group, which also includes a Sudanese, is still being investigated, the office of the Sudan police spokesman, Gen. Adil Sidahmed, said in a statement faxed to AFP. âIt is likely that the detainees will be extradited to their home countries in compliance with the relevant international agreements,â it said. The group was recently arrested as it was âengaged in suspicious activities and carrying out illegal military training,â at a camp near Laqawa town in central West Kordofan State, the police said. The police added they were still searching for another Sudanese in connection with the case. A team of Saudi security experts is also helping the investigation into the suspects, who are being detained in Khartoum, according to local press reports. Gen. Al-Tayeb Abdel Rahman, the governor of West Kordofan State, said last week the suspects claimed they did not belong to any organization and that they were traveling âon the path of Allahâ.
