Notorious criminal Rabih Al-Khalil, who had been on the run for three years, has been arrested in Qatar. Al-Khalil, who was convicted of murder, escaped from a B.C. prison in 2022. Rabih Al-Khalil is a criminal who was on Canada's most wanted list.

He was arrested while living in Qatar under a false name. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit in British Columbia confirmed the news on Thursday. Police did not say when the arrest took place. Rabih Al-Khalil, 38, has a long criminal history. He was found guilty of two murders in Toronto and Vancouver in 2012. After escaping from prison, he was placed on Canada's most wanted list. The RCMP said it has been searching for Al-Khalil in many parts of the world for the past three years, and the federal police also worked with the Qatari Ministry of the Interior. The RCMP said support from Qatari authorities helped lead to his arrest. Officials said they are working with other agencies, including Interpol, to bring Al-Khalil back to Canada.
