One of Saudi Arabia’s most wanted militant suspects has surrendered to police, Saudi officials have said. Mansour bin Mohammad Ahmad Faqih gave himself up on Tuesday, according to an interior ministry statement carried by state media. He was 14th on a wanted list of 26 men with suspected al-Qaeda links. In early December, Saudi Arabia named 26 suspects it suspected of involvement in terror attacks within the country. It offered rewards of up to $1.9 million to anyone who helped police arrest them or thwart an attack. Pictures and biographical details of the suspects were printed in Saudi newspapers. The reports said Faqih, 22, had gone into hiding soon after his younger brother was arrested in connection with suicide attacks in May.
