The man had illegally travelled between Afghanistan and neighbouring Pakistan twice before being seized, he added. He said the suspect was currently being investigated in an interior ministry jail and Afghanistan had informed the Canadian foreign ministry.The Canadian media reported on Friday that Afghan police picked up a 24-year-old Canadian national on suspicion that he had attended a militant training camp. He allegedly attended a camp in Waziristan, reported the Globe and Mail newspaper. Ottawa is aware that a Canadian is detained in Afghanistan, Ambra Dickie, a spokeswoman for Canadas foreign affairs department, said on Friday. She refused to name him, saying only that Canadian consular officials had visited him in jail. Posted by: Fred 2007-05-13 |
