Adnan Mohammed Ali Al-Sayegh, a wanted Saudi militant, surrendered to security authorities. Security spokesman at the Ministry of Interior said Al-Sayegh, a former Guantamo detainee, has repented and expressed regrets for rejoining the deviant group.
Earlier, the Prince Muhammad bin Naif Center for Counseling and Care had received a call from Al-Sayegh expressing his willingness to return to the Kingdom and surrender to the authorities. The authorities then made arrangements to bring the militant and his Yemeni wife to the Kingdom in coordination with Yemeni authorities.
On arrival in the Kingdom, relatives received the militant and his wife. Necessary medical tests were conducted on them.
The spokesman said necessary procedures will be completed in the case of Al-Sayegh as had been done in other cases. He renewed the ministry’s call to all wanted terror suspects living abroad to abandon the deviant ideology and turn themselves in to the security authorities.
Al-Sayegh was one of the 85 wanted militants whose list was published by the ministry in February 2009. The suspects — 83 Saudis and two Yemenis — are wanted for terrorist acts.
Al-Sayegh had undergone rigorous rehabilitation program at the Prince Muhammad bin Naif Center for Counseling and Care after returning to the Kingdom from the US prison at Guantanamo Bay six years ago. Later, he left the Kingdom to rejoin a group of terrorists operating outside the Kingdom.
