Fares al-Zahrani, one of the most wanted militants in Saudi Arabia, was arrested by security forces Thursday night in the south of the kingdom, Al-Arabiya television news channel said. The Dubai-based and Saudi-owned station said Zahrani, 27, surrendered to security forces "without putting up any resistance" in a park in the Abha region after a chase of several hours. He was not armed. Zahrani is one of the top suspects on a 26-strong most-wanted list issued by Saudi authorities last December, of whom 12 remained at large prior to news of his capture. |
