Saudi issues wanted list of 83 militants overseas

Saudi Arabia on Monday issued a list of 83 wanted militants based overseas and called on them to turn themselves in to authorities and "return to a normal life," adding that Interpol had been asked to arrest them.

Saudi television read the names and showed photographs of the wanted men, all Saudis except for two Yemenis, who it said had "adopted the straying ideology", a reference to al-Qaeda. The announcement followed a move last month by al-Qaeda's wing in neighbouring Yemen to name two Saudis released from the US military prison camp in Guantanamo as commanders. (Reuters)
