The Saudi government has offered a reward of up to 300,000 riyals ($80,000) for information leading to the capture of 19 men, most of them Saudis, it says were planning to carry out a terrorist attack. Saudi police said they are hunting 17 Saudis, one Yemeni and one Iraqi with Canadian and Kuwaiti passports to face terrorism charges. The suspects fled after a shootout with security forces in Riyadh on Tuesday, according to police. Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz said 200,000 to 300,000 riyals ($53,000-$80,000) would be awarded to anyone with information leading to an arrest, plus 40,000 to 50,000 riyals ($11,000-$13,000) if the information helped the investigation, the newspaper Al Riyadh said Thursday. A dispatch Wednesday from the official Saudi Press Agency urged friends and relatives of the 19 to contact the government with information and warned against sheltering any of the suspects.
