KSA denies nationals arrested in Yemen

RIYADH, 20 (Saba) - A spokesman for the Saudi Interior ministry has
denied reports that seven Saudi terrorism suspects were arrested in
Yemen who received trainings in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Major General Mansour al-Turkey said Yemeni officials had told him
the reports were untrue.

Al-Turkey affirmed Saudi Arabia will not allow astray people to use
its lands for terrorist training camps .

He urged other wanted suspects on the list the Saudi Interior
ministry made public last month to surrender as their colleague
Muhammad Ateeq al-Aufi did when he handed himself in to Yemeni
security forces in Shabwa province a week ago.

Two days ago, Yemen extradited al-Aufi to Saudi Arabia. His name was
among the list of 83 wanted suspects announced in January.

Al-Aufi was an ex-Guantanmo Saudi detainee and released along with
other eleven Saudi nationals.

Recently, two of the eleven were already identified as members of a
Yemeni terrorist group. Al-Aufi was one of the two.

For his part, Yemen's ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Muhammad al-Ahwal affirmed his country will not allow terrorists to
use Yemeni lands to attack Saudi targets and to destabilize the
neighboring kingdom.
