Gen. Mansour al-Turki of the Saudi Interior Ministry told The Associated Press on Wednesday that among the 85 people listed by the government, 11 had been released from the U.S. detention facility in Cuba and passed through government-sponsored rehabilitation programs.
A total of 117 Saudis have been freed from Guantanamo, al-Turki says, with the vast majority not getting into further trouble.
On Monday, the Saudis issued a wanted list of Saudis and two Yemenis living abroad and suspected of involvement with al-Qaida.
President Barack Obama on Jan. 21 ordered the closing of the Guantanamo Bay facility.
