RIYADH - The Saudi interior ministry on Tuesday released a new list of three dozen suspected militants wanted on terrorism-related charges both in and outside the kingdom. Most of those on the list, which was published by official media, are Saudis, but they also include suspects from Chad, Kuwait, Mauritania, Morocco and Yemen.

One Moroccan figured on a 15-strong list of wanted extremists believed to be inside Saudi Arabia, while 21 suspects thought to be outside the country included three Chadians, one Kuwaiti, one Mauritanian and one Yemeni.

The interior ministry said the suspects on the latest list are linked âin varying degreesâ to the spate of bombings and shootings launched two years ago. The interior ministry called on the wanted militants to surrender, saying this would be âtaken into consideration when looking into their case,â and repeated earlier promises of hefty financial rewards for anyone who gives information leading to the arrest of one or more suspects or to thwarting a terrorist attack. |
