| Al-Hawali sez Oufi's willing to surrender |
| 2004-07-23 |
| Just like Nek Mohammed was ... THREE of Saudi Arabia's most wanted terrorist suspects, including the al-Qaeda leader in the country, Saleh Mohammed al-Oufi, are willing to negotiate their surrender, a mediator said today. "Mediators confirmed that Oufi is willing to negotiate and they are optimistic about the results," Sheikh Safar al-Hawali, who mediated between Saudi authorities and terror suspects, said only hours before a month-long royal amnesty was due to expire. "Negotiations with the other two suspects who are also on the 26 most-wanted list started over a month ago. They prefer to remain anonymous," Mr Hawali said. |

| #5 Negotiations for the surrender of the man believed to be al-Qaida's chief in the Arabian Peninsula have begun, a Saudi cleric said Friday. Sheik Safar al-Hawaly, speaking to The Associated Press from the southern Saudi province al-Baha, said an intermediary was sent to Saleh Mohammed al-Aoofi on Thursday night. He would not say where al-Aoofi was. Make that three ways to spell it: Saleh al-Awfi Saleh Mohammed al-Oufi Saleh Mohammed al-Aoofi No wonder they can't keep the databases straight. |

| #2 seems it would have been smarter of Oufi to stay dead. I suspect some Saudi officials are going to be very angry at him for reappearing after he had so conveniently died. |
