The father of a wanted Saudi terror suspect said his son went to Iraq
via Syria a year ago.
The Saudi daily al-Medina Thursday quoted Sheik Sanitan Dayt as saying
his son, Sultan Dayt, who is on a Saudi list of 36 suspected terrorists,
last contacted the family from Iraq in October 2004.
"In June last year, we received an anonymous phone call saying that
Sultan arrived in Syria and was on his way to Iraq," Dayt said.
"A month later, Sultan called to say that he arrived in Iraq ... I
begged him to come back, but he said he will when time comes."
Saudi authorities fear the wanted terror suspects will flee the kingdom
through neighboring countries.
A senior security source was quoted Thursday by daily newspaper al-Watan
as saying the interior ministry is giving the 36 suspects identified
this week the chance to surrender and reduce the punishment they may face.
"Unveiling the identities of the wanted suspects might encourage many to
surrender and defend themselves and to be freed if they prove not to be
involved in terrorist activities," the source added.
