'We have been in misery for the last two days' Ahmed Alkadi told local news agencies. 'We have tried everything. We called friends. We called relatives. We called everybody we knew and with no news. We are so worried about him.'

Abdullah's last tweet published on Sept. 15 read: 'God make me happier for I have suffered. Give me rest and don't disappoint me for you are my Lord.'

The search is in full swing on social media sites. Police also published a recent photo of Alkadi on its website with a description stating that Abdullah is of Middle Eastern origin weighs 110 pounds has black hair and brown eyes and was wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans at the time of his disappearance.

Abdullah's brother has also appealed for help on Twitter to find his missing brother.

'Please pray for my brother who has been missing in LA' he wrote urging anyone with information to contact him.

A group of Saudi scholarship students in the United States meanwhile have launched a campaign of their own on social media websites in search of Abdullah who is a student at California State University at Northridge.

Police have called on anyone who has any information about Abdullah's whereabouts to contact the missing person's unit at the LAPD.
