Bakr bin Laden temporarily released from Saudi detention: sources | Reuters:

Bakr bin Laden, former chairman of construction giant Saudi Binladin Group, has been temporarily released nearly 15 months after his arrest in Saudi Arabia’s anti-corruption campaign, three sources with knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.

The sources said he was taken from Riyadh’s Ha’ir prison on Wednesday and then flown to the western city of Jeddah to attend a close relative’s funeral. He is expected to return to detention but the sources said they did not know when.

“He is out, but we’re not sure if it’s for good or not,” said one of the sources, who all requested anonymity.
