Late last month, Saudi news organizations and some U.S. publications, including The Washington Post, reported that he had been arrested in Medina along with three other people. The reports said Gamdi and two suspects were arrested after they left an Internet cafe, where they were planning an attack on a major hotel and commercial center in Riyadh. U.S. officials said yesterday that they knew the report was inaccurate but chose not to dispute it.
The Saudi Press Agency carried the names of the 12 identified bombers. Five of those named were Saudis on a wanted list issued before the May 12 attacks which killed 35 people. Al-Qaeda terror network has been blamed for the attacks in which armed assailants drove into the compounds and detonated car bombs.
