Prince Naif Bin Abdul Aziz, Second Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, said Tuesday that the Kingdom was closely pursuing the repatriation of Saudi nationals held at Guantanamo. Prince Naif also said that Saudi troops deployed on the southern borders would leave the area “soon”, noting that the military base in Jizan was supported by a larger base in Abha. “There are several terror suspects being tried by courts and other suspects will be put before the courts when investigations are complete,” Prince Naif added. He also praised the role of King Faisal International Prize in “encouraging researchers in the service of mankind”, and cited the added value given to the prize through its awarding personally by King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
