Yemeni security forces arrested a Saudi man wanted in the Kingdom on âsecurityâ charges, an informed source at the Yemeni Interior Ministry confirmed yesterday. The man, arrested in an unspecified location in Yemen earlier this week, killed another Saudi fugitive who had been accompanying him before he was captured.

Saudi Arabia and Yemen have recently been swapping fugitives under an extradition agreement. The last wanted person extradited by Yemeni authorities to the Kingdom was a Saudi who had escaped from a Jizan prison last month. On August 18, the two countries announced the swap of four Yemenis, including two suspected of involvement in a deadly attack on a French supertanker off Yemenâs southeastern coast, and two Saudis wanted on criminal charges. |
