Second Canadian was held in Saudi captivity
A second Canadian was arrested in Saudi Arabia in early 2001 and was tortured during his 67 days in cap­tivity before being released and returning to Canada, a Briton arrested with him says.

The Canadian, who has sought to protect his identity for the past 2½ years, was arrested just months after the capture of William Sampson, the Canadian now facing a death sentence for his alleged role in a series of bombings that targeted Westerners in the kingdom.

The man was arrested along with Ron Jones, a British col­league, and an American outside a bookstore in central Riyadh on March 16, 2001 when a trash can blew up, injuring Mr. Jones. The three men all worked at the same Saudi-owned company, had been out together for the evening on a Thursday night, the Saudi equiva­lent of Saturday night.

1. We've been trying
to pry them loose for a long time.

Evidence is when they confess under torture.
