06/27/05 "Washington Times"
- - Amnesty International said U.S. authorities arrested a Saudi on charges of attempting to assassinate President George W. Bush. 

The Saudi daily al-Watan Monday quoted Sharon Craytobel, Amnesty International researcher in North America, as saying the human rights watchdog is concerned about the fate of the Saudi man, who is a naturalized U.S. citizen. 

"The U.S. government included the name of the Saudi on a list of wanted people after he made statements during a visit to Saudi Arabia which were considered as terrorist inspired," Craytobel said. 

She said the suspect, who was not identified, will be tried soon in the U.S. on charges of trying to kill Bush. 

"Amnesty International is deeply concerned about the imprisonment conditions and the trial of the suspect," she said.
