Arrest warrants issued for 23 people linked to troubles in Eastern Province

January 2, 2012

The Ministry of Interior today issued arrest warrants for 23 people accused of various offenses in the Eastern Province over the past few months, including opening fire on citizens and security men, resulting in the death of 4 and the wounding of 24 people, illegal possession of firearms, forcing people to provide them with shelter, forcing people to participate in clashes with security forces, destruction of public and private property, disorderly gatherings, and obstruction of traffic.

Ministry of Interior Spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki said the arrest warrants were issued after the suspects failed to appear before a court of justice and that some suspects are believed to have fled the country. The spokesman emphasized that these 23 men are not representative of the innocent, loyal citizens of the region and instead are working to implement a foreign agenda.  Maj. Gen. Al-Turki added that some of the wanted men have past criminal records.

The spokesman said that those who voluntarily surrender will receive less punishment and urged all citizens to cooperate with security forces to see that those suspect are brought to justice and cautioned against sheltering the fugitives. People in Saudi Arabia are urged to call 990 with any information, he said, adding that a reward for information leading to the capture of the fugitives is being offered.
