JEDDAH, 23 May 2006 — Saudi Arabia will put on trial its 15 Gitmo returnees after establishing their involvement in terrorist activities through interrogation, Interior Minister Prince Naif announced yesterday before leaving for Abu Dhabi to attend a GCC meeting.
“It’s premature to talk about it now,” the prince commented when a reporter asked him whether the Saudi returnees from the US detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba would be given back their government jobs.
“First of all, they will undergo investigation to establish whether they were involved in any terrorist activity or not. After that they will be transferred to court for trial,” the Saudi Press Agency quoted the minister as saying.
Prince Naif confirmed reports about the upcoming visits of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah to the Kingdom’s different regions.
