Arabia
Saudi names top 26 terrorist suspects
2003-12-07
Arabia yesterday announced the names of 26 suspects wanted in connection with terrorist attacks in the country and offered cash rewards for information leading to their arrest. The ministry urged the wanted men, who include 23 Saudis, two Moroccans and a Yemeni, to surrender to security forces. “Those who are convicted will be punished in accordance with the Shariah,” the ministry added.
Does that mean they're going to cut their heads off?
The ministry has posted an SR7 million reward for anyone providing information that stops a potential attack, SR5 million for information leading to the arrest of a group of terror suspects, and SR1 million for the arrest of a single suspect. The ministry warned anyone cooperating with the suspects in any way, adding they will face “harsh punishment.”
"Heads will roll!"
The wanted suspects are:
Abdul Aziz Isa Abdul Mohsen Al-Muqrin,
Rakan Mohsen Muhammad Al-Saikhan,
Saleh Muhammad Awadallah Al-Alawi Al-Aufi,
Ibrahim Muhammad Abdullah Al-Rayyes,
