Khaled bin Ouda bin Mohammed al-Harby, a close confidant of Osama bin Laden seen with him on a videotape, surrendered to Saudi diplomats in Iran and was flown to Riyadh. Officials say he was a sounding board rather than an operator, and his surrender marks a key milestone in the Saudi amnesty for militants.
