RIYADH, Feb 17 (Reuters) - A former Guantanamo detainee who became an al Qaeda commander has turned himself in to the Saudi authorities, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television said on Tuesday.

Mohammed al-Awfi, who had been released from a Saudi centre for those returning from the U.S. military prison camp in Guantanamo, appeared on an al Qaeda video last month to say he had joined al Qaeda's regional wing in Yemen as a commander.

The television station said Awfi, on a wanted list of 85 al Qaeda-inspired Islamist militants overseas issued by Saudi Arabia this month, had contacted the Saudi authorities three days ago before surrendering in Yemen.

Neighbouring Yemen has said it arrested dozens of suspects in a manhunt for al Qaeda-linked militants in recent weeks.
