Global alert issued for 85 terror suspects

Interpol released a security alert for 85 suspected al Qaeda terrorists wanted by Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, February 10. The list was mostly Saudi suspects, with the exception of two Yemenis.

The Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble stated that this was the first time that Interpol was asked to alert people about so many suspects. All 85 wanted terrorists are suspected of motives to attack Saudi Arabia. Interpol also stated that a country asking for help in this kind of degree is really rare.

This really shows the urgency of the Saudi Arabian goverment's need for help and its desperateness. It stated in the article also that "It is rare for the kingdom to announce that some of its most wanted terrorists are on the loose. It is also unusual for Saudi Arabia to ask for help in finding them." I do not know if Interpol is doing the best it can or have made any progress, but I hope that they are because a country's government asking for outside help is really something.
