Iraq captures Saudi allegedly involved in oil facility attack

Iraqi border guards have captured a Saudi who admitted he was involved in last month’s suicide attack on the Abqaiq oil facility in eastern Saudi Arabia, an Iraqi military spokesman said yesterday.

Abdullah Salah al-Harbi was apprehended on Tuesday by Iraq border guards in the desert along the border between the two countries, said Saadoun al-Jabiri, a spokesman for the Iraqi border guard force.
