Sheikh bombings. Prince Naif said that groups have exploited Saudi citizens as tools for explosion and destruction against innocent people, pointing out that this topic was discussed in a meeting of interior ministers of Iraq neighboring countries recently held in Turkey. He demanded that families whose sons and relatives involved in these groups give them up or inform authorities. Replying to a question on fears of torturing and sentencing to death those who surrender, Prince Naif said that this is out of question. Anyone who surrenders himself, that will be appreciated. If he commits an act or a crime, it is better to give himself up rather than run away towards explosion and destruction. As for some recent arrests, he said that we will not conceal any truth from citizens, many previous events have proved this. But sometimes it is in the interest of investigation not to announce some aspects until the completion of the case's findings. Regarding Saudi detainees in Guantanamo Prison, he said that we have been seriously pursuing this topic with U.S. authorities. He noted that the number of detainees is not 121 as reported. Some of them claimed that they are Saudis, but they are not. A concerned committee has been following the matter, the Prince said. --More 2216 Local Time 1916 GMT
