Riyadh: A Saudi citizen who had been held in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay returned to the kingdom, state news agency SPA reported.
"As part of efforts to return Saudis detained outside the kingdom, by the grace of God almighty, the citizen Jubran bin Saad bin Waza al-Qahtani was returned from Guantanamo Bay and arrived in the kingdom on Thursday evening," a statement quoting an interior ministry spokesman said.
His family was informed of his arrival and all arrangements had been made for their reunion, the spokesman said.
The security spokesman added that he will be subjected to the regulations in force in the kingdom, which include taking advantage of Mohammed bin Nayef Center for Advice and Care programs.
US President Barack Obama has been seeking to shrink the inmate population at the prison in Cuba before he leaves office.
