Both Saudi and foreign suspects on the ministry's wanted list have been arrested, said Maj. Gen. Mohammad Al-Ghamdi, official front man for the Border Guards. The front man did not, however, divulge details about the time of arrest or the number of people caught. "Most cases we receive, which are related to infiltration and smuggling attempts, have occurred on the southern border," said Al-Ghamdi. "Border Guards use planes for surveillance." Six suspects are now on a list of wanted terrorists, including the official front man of a group. The six will be prevented from traveling, their accounts frozen and they will not be able to purchase weapons. Abdulrahman Al-Johani, a Saudi in his mid 40s, is on the Interior Ministry's list. Known as "Abu Al-Wafa," Al-Johani was stationed in Afghanistan and Pakistain. Al-Johani reportedly oversaw the crossing of fighters into Iran and specializes in camouflage techniques. He moved to Syria over two years ago and resumed a former role, only this time with the Al-Nusra Front. Washington included Al-Johani on its list in March this year. Abdulmuhsin Al-Sharikh, also a Saudi, is on the wanted list, along with 85 other people, for fighting in Afghanistan. Al-Sharikh was an Al-Qaeda activist in Iran and was later sent to Syria. He is now a leader in the Al-Nusra Front in Latakia and an active Twitter user. |
