Security Forces Arrest Terror Suspect in Makkah Region
2003-12-25
Security forces have arrested a man resembling one of the 26 wanted terrorists, Al-Watan reported yesterday.
Hurrah!
“The person raised suspicions among people in the village of Bani Afeef near Laith in the Makkah region when he asked for help,” the paper said. “He looked nervous and tired which raised suspicions among the citizens, especially since he looked like Talal Anbar Ahmad Anbari, one of the men wanted by police,” the paper added. A number of people from the village watched him closely, when he “went to the village’s health center and was refused any help because he lacked identification.” The police were called and he was arrested on Monday. “Security authorities are conducting an investigation, and it is expected that a DNA sample will be taken to confirm his identity,” the paper said.
"Mahmoud, slice a piece of him off for DNA testing!"
Talal Anbari, 27, is from Taif. An average student, he dropped out of school after the 9th grade and reportedly left his family several months ago and has not been seen since.

#3  Correction:
"... lacked identification." Must've only had a Saudi passport.
