The Security Spokesman of the Ministry of Interior said in a statement that the concerned authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have been following-up with interest the case of Abdullah bin Mohammed Al-Khalidi, the Saudi Deputy Consul in the Yemeni City of Aden, who was kidnapped while on duty granting Yemeni citizens visas to enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Hajj, Umrah, work and visits. The Saudi Embassy in Yemen's capital received phone calls from Misha'al Mohammed Rasheed Al-Shudokhi, who is wanted by the security authorities and whose name appears on the list of the 85 wanted individuals issued on 07/02/1430H. Al-Shudokhi said he represents the deviant group claiming the responsibility for the abduction of Saudi Deputy Consul and that they have several demands including the release of a number of prisoners and handing them over to members of the organization in Yemen. The following are parts of the conversation with Al-Shudokhi: Al-Shudokhi: Have you called a while ago, asking about Abdullah Al-Khalidi? Ambassador: Yes. Al-Shudokhi: How are you? Ambassador: I am fine, thank you. How is Al-Khalidi there? Al-Shudokhi: He is fine and his health is good. Everything is good. The group would like to tell you something. Ambassador: Yes. Al-Shudokhi: We cannot speak on the phone. You may decide the suitable way for discussing this case. Send us any one from your side, whether a Saudi or a Yemeni. As you like, Abu Faris. Ambassador: Where do you want me to send him? Al-Shudokhi: Send him to Abyan to Jaar. When he arrives, tell him to call this number; or before he drives, tell him to call and give us a confirmed time of his arrival. Ambassador: I cannot. You do not know me and I do not know you. Is it necessary? Al-Shudokhi: Ok. I've some questions for you. He said call Ali Al-Hamdan. Ambassador: Yes. I am speaking. --More
