Wanted Saudi militant turns himself in to authorities
Othman Hadi Al Maqboul al-Amri, 21st on the list of 26 issued by the Interior Ministry in December, surrendered in the area of Halba bani Amr, 744 miles south-west of the capital Riyadh. Al-Amri was later taken to the Red Sea port city of Jiddah for investigations, the official said.
Al-Amri, a 37-year-old Saudi, is the second person to turn himself in since King Fahd promised to spare the lives of militants who came clean.
Those involved in attacks who turned themselves in could still face trial under the king's decree, but the state will not seek their execution.
The surrender call came with a warning that those who ignore it would face the "full might" of Saudi authorities.
Sa'aban bin Mohamed bin Abdullah Alleihi al-Shihri who was not among the 26 most-wanted surrendered last Thursday.
Over the past year, Saudi Arabia has seen suicide bombings, gunbattles and kidnappings targeting foreign workers in the kingdom. The attacks have been blamed on al-Qaida and sympathisers of the anti- Western terror network.
