RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Saudi Arabia issued a new list of 36 wanted terror suspects Tuesday, many of them young fighters apparently recruited by al-Qaida-linked militants after the kingdom's security forces killed or captured most of the group's top leaders in a severe crackdown.

In a statement that accompanied the list, the Interior Ministry offered rewards of $267,000 for information leading to the arrest of a suspect. The reward would be raised to $1.3 million if more than one is arrested and to $1.8 million if a terror act is foiled as a result of the information.

One of the most significant figures on the list was Saleh Saeed al-Btaih al-Ghamdi, a former member of the Saudi military who spent time in Afghanistan in the late 1990s, Saudi terror experts said.

Al-Ghamdi, 40, is believed to be a midlevel leader of the militant network in the kingdom, communicating between the top bosses and operatives, the experts said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
