Saudis issue new list of 36 suspected terrorists

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Saudi Arabia issued a new list of 36 wanted terror suspects Tuesday, many of them young fighters apparently recruited by al-Qaida-linked militants.

In a statement that accompanied the list, the Interior Ministry offered rewards of $267,000 for information leading to the arrest of a suspect. The reward would be raised to $1.3 million if more than one is arrested and to $1.8 million if a terror act is foiled as a result of the information.

The Interior Ministry said in a statement that 15 of the 36 were believed to still be in Saudi Arabia, while the whereabouts of the remainder were unknown.

The new list included 29 Saudis, three Chadians, a Moroccan, a Kuwaiti, a Yemeni and a Mauritanian. Most were in their 20s, apparently recruits to beef up al-Qaida's depleted ranks following the government's two-year campaign against the group.
