Pakistan has deported to Saudi Arabia a suspect in the November bombing of the U.S. headquarters for a Saudi national guard training program in Riyadh, a senior police officer said. Rehman Malik, director of Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency, said Hassan A. H. Alsarai, a Saudi national, was flown to Jidda on a special Saudi plane on Thursday. “He was wanted by the Saudi authorities in connection with the [Riyadh] bombing and some other conspiracy,” Malik said. “Three senior Pakistani officials escorted him.” The November bombing killed seven people, including five Americans, and injured about 60.
