Saudi Arabia frees activist jailed over Web article

"Saudi Arabia released on Tuesday an Islamist activist who was arrested earlier this month after criticizing a cabinet minister in an Internet article, a colleague said. Mohsen al-Awajy was taken into custody on March 10 after penning and posting an article in which he also said a liberal clique of ministers and officials had become the real power behind the scenes with a direct line to King Abdullah."
