Authorities subsequently arranged Abdel-Salam Rashed Al Farraj’s return to Saudi Arabia. He was on the kingdom’s 47-most-wanted list and is described as a very dangerous militant, well-trained in weapons.
General Turki didn’t say when Farraj returned but said he has been reunited with his family.
Farraj’s whereabouts outside Saudi Arabia were not disclosed. Many Al Qaeda militants fled to neighboring Yemen after a crackdown in the kingdom.
