Swedish Guantanamo Alumnus Turns up in Pakistan
11th September 2009
Two nights ago I included a translated article in the news feed about three suspected “Swedish” Al Qaeda terrorists who were arrested in Pakistan. The article didn’t say so explicitly, but one would assume that these were culturally enriched fellows rather than blond-haired blue-eyed guys with surnames like Svensson and Eriksson.
It turns out that our assumptions were correct, and to make the matter even more poignant, one of the apprehended “Swedes” is Mehdi Ghezali, who graduated from Guantanamo before moving on to higher things.
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
