BURAIDAH —
Qasim police have found the infant baby boy who was kidnapped from the Maternity and Children Hospital in Buraidah on Aug. 16.

The police did not reveal the place from where the baby was found but said the kidnapper was arrested and would be brought to justice.

According to the police, the kidnapper was a Saudi woman in her 40s.

Abdul Rahim Al-Mishaiqh, the baby's father, confirmed that his boy was in good health and said he was more than happy that the infant was found.

The father said he had no doubt that his infant baby would be found. "I was never desperate of having him back because we are living in a country of safety and security," he said.

The father strongly refuted news reports that the baby was kidnapped because of some family differences.

"This is completely untrue. We have no rifts within our family. However, the are people who work in the dark to seed dissensions among the same family members even if they are living in complete harmony," he said.
