Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Saud Al Faisal, Tuesday said Riyadh would not hand over to authorities in the United States the 16 suspected Al Qaeda members recently deported from the Islamic republic of Iran, but is willing to "share information" about them.  

 

Prince Saud told Asharq Al Awsat newspaper that the kingdom would not hand over the suspects if Washington presented an official request for their extradition. "But we can share information with the United States or other friends" about the results of the investigations, he was quoted as saying. (Albawaba.com)
