Saudis fighting with Iraq insurgents

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, July 11 (UPI) -- Saudi authorities acknowledged that Saudi nationals have joined the insurgency against U.S.-led multinational forces in Iraq.

Foreign Ministry Director General Prince Turki bin Mohammed bin Saoud was quoted Tuesday as saying in daily al-Madina that "certain Saudis are present in Iraq after they have been lured to go there and are involved in violent activities."

He said the Saudis infiltrated Iraq through neighboring countries which he did not identify and called on the Iraqi government to extradite them in case they were captured so that they will be interrogated at home.

Turki stressed that "relations between the Saudi and Iraqi peoples are deep rooted and old and that many Saudis are present in Iraq for business while others have family relations there."
