RIYADH - Saudi authorities have rearrested nine Islamist militants, including former inmates of the US military detention centre at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, the interior ministry said.

The ministry in a statement late Sunday said the nine Saudi nationals had undergone a rehabilitation programme for Islamist militants arrested in the kingdom and for returnees from the notorious US prison.

‘Since the start of the rehabilitation programme, nine people, who had taken part in the programme, have been rearrested,’ a ministry official told state news agency SPA.

‘Some of them had returned from Guantanamo,’ the official added.

The comments come in the wake of reports that two men who had been released from Guantanamo and went through the rehabilitation programme had resurfaced in Yemen and had rejoined Al-Qaeda.
