The man, described by the U.S. military on Thursday as a mid-level al Qaeda operative, apparently committed suicide on Wednesday at the prison camp for foreign terrorism suspects at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The Saudi Arabian government identified him as Abdul-Rahman bin Ma'ada bin Dhafer al Aameri and said it had begun procedures to bring home his body.
"A team of Saudi specialists has started, upon an invitation from the American side, a visit to the Guantanamo detention (centre) to review the conditions on the Saudi detainees and intensify the effort to repatriate them as soon as possible," the state-run Saudi Press Agency said.
