Rush is giving the scoop on this guy right now. Remember the tape that surfaced right after 9/11.....UBL talking to some guy and laughing about 9/11....The one that is laughing is this guy.
What's the REST of the story?
Interesting. Another one-legged terrorist.
Duh, you're right. Thanks!
Oh more than big. This could be hugh!
I just hope the report is series.
Fly his butt over Afghanistan/Pakistan border and make him point. Then dump him out the back of the plane.
(CNN) -- A close associate of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was flown from Iran to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after surrendering to security officials at the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, a Saudi Interior Ministry official said.
Khaled al-Harbi was believed to have been living near the Afghan-Iranian border.
Video aired by the Arabic television network Al-Arabiya Tuesday showed al-Harbi being carried from a plane and placed in a wheelchair.
Al-Harbi is believed to have fought with bin Laden against Russian forces in Afghanistan about 20 years ago. Saudi officials believe al-Harbi returned to Afghanistan in the mid-1990s, joining up with al Qaeda.
In late 2001, he was identified on a videotape conversing with bin Laden about the September 11 terrorist attacks.
News of the surrender comes after a Saudi amnesty offer in late June for al Qaeda fighters to surrender within a month.
CNN's Caroline Faraj in Dubai contributed to this report.
Maybe he was just passin' thru.......on his way to jihad.....
He surrendered to the Saudi embassy in Tehran, and was flown back to Saudi.
Didn't they say something about amnesty for terrorists?
FNC is reporting on this now
Announcing on FNC.
The big question is does he have amnesty from the Saudis?

~~This could be hugh!~~
Hugh Grant???? Damn he got ugly. Lessson: Stay away from transvestite hookers.
Oops, the report answered that... Sorry-posted at the same time.
I wonder if this guy turned himself in knowing he would be safe in Iran when the Al Qaeda plot is launched in the U.S. soon? Meaning he knows he will at least be kept alive by living in Iran.
I don't have a good feeling about the guy all of a sudden "turning himself in",Al Qaeda does not have a conscience.
Khaled bin Odeh bin Mohammed al-Harbi, alias Abu Suleiman al-Makki he is married to the daughter of Ayman al-Zawahiri..
What? AQ leadership not on some mythical mountaintop in Pakistan? Shermy Yawwwnnn....
This guy's failure probably is that he's involved in attacks in Saudi Arabia himself - or he's the Mullah's fall guy.
Supply Side oil war marches on...
