A Saudi terror suspect reportedly surrendered to the Saudi Embassy in Beirut on Tuesday. Another militant has been killed in Iraq. Both were on a new wanted list issued by the Ministry of Interior. Okaz newspaper said Faiz Ibrahim Ayub, 30, turned himself in to the Saudi Embassy in the Lebanese capital one day after the list of 36 wanted terrorists was released. The daily quoted Ayubâs brother, Salah, as saying he had received a telephone call from his brother in which he said he was on his way to the Saudi Embassy âin an Arab countryâ to give himself up. Contacted by Arab News, a Saudi Embassy official in Beirut said they had no idea of the surrender. âWe know nothing about this. To us these reports are just rumors and are not true.â The embassy employee said he did not know what sources the press relied on when reporting such news. He added that to his knowledge, the embassy did not have any information about this matter.
Asharq Al-Awsat quoted the brother of another Saudi militant on the wanted list, Faris Abdullah Al-Dhahiry, 22, as saying his brother was killed in Iraq in November. |
