RIYADH: The Ministry of Interior has said that wanted man Jabir Bin Jibran Bin Ali Al-Faifi, who went through the Al-Munasaha terrorist rehabilitation program after returning from Guantanamo Bay before joining up again with extremists in Yemen, has made moves to surrender to the Kingdom's authorities. Jabir Al-Faifi is listed as number 20 on the Feb. 2009 Ministry of Interior list of persons wanted in connection with security issues. In a statement released in the early hours of Friday, the ministry said that the Muhammad Bin Naif Al-Munasaha Center received telephone contact from Al-Faifi, in which he “revealed the conditions that sons of the nation who had been seduced by false calls were living in”. Al-Faifi reportedly “expressed regret at what he had done” and his “resolute wish to return to the country and hand himself in to security authorities”. According to the statement, the Kingdom's security officials have been working with counterparts in Yemen to arrange the return of Al-Faifi, who will be permitted to meet with his family as soon as he arrives in the Kingdom. The Ministry of Interior spokesman said in Friday's statement that the “tables have turned” on followers of “deviant ideology” abroad. The ministry reiterated its appeal to all wanted persons to hand themselves in to the authorities, a move that would, it said, be taken into consideration when their cases are reviewed.
