AMMAN - Sabih al-Masri, a Palestinian billionaire and the chairman of Jordan's largest lender Arab Bank, was detained in Saudi Arabia for questioning after a business trip to Riyadh, family sources and friends said on Saturday.

He had canceled a dinner on Tuesday that he had invited friends and leading businessmen to attend on his return.

Masri could not be reached for comment. The Saudi authorities did not respond to requests for comment.
