Saudi terror amnesty fails
A month-long amnesty offered by Saudi King Fahd to militants who turn themselves in has failed to attract hardcore militants responsible for the killings of scores of Saudis and foreigners in waves of attacks that began in May 2003.
However, since the amnesty was announced on June 23, four wanted men have surrendered to Saudi authorities, including Khaled bin Ouda bin Mohammed al-Harby, a confidant of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden, and 27 others have been repatriated from a number of countries.
