Pakistan extradites three Saudi nationals to Saudi Arabia

Riyadh: Three Saudi nationals suspected of being militants have been extradited from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia, the Interior Ministry said in a statement released on Sunday.

Two of the men voluntarily surrendered themselves to the Saudi embassy in Pakistan, a statement on the official news agency said.

The men, who had spent time in "troubled zones in an illegal capacity", will face authorities in Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi government is involved in a continuous process to try and repatriate many Saudis who may have joined the militant group Al Qaida, including those that were captured by US forces after the invasion of Afghanistan.
