Al-Qaeda Frenchie hospitalized in Pak
2001-12-15
  • A Frenchie who fought with al-Qaida was being treated in a Pakistani hospital under heavy guard after he was wounded in a U.S. airstrike. Abdur Rehman, 21, received military training at an al-Qaida camp six months ago, and told interrogators that between 80 and 100 other French citizens also were trapped in Afghanistan. Rehman speaks English, Arabic and French. Five Arabs who crossed the border with him also were taken into custody, and three of them were being treated at the same facility. Intelligence officials said the men had been arrested by anti-Taliban forces in Afghanistan and were sent to Pakistan for treatment and interrogation.
    Wonder if he's a genuine Jacques or an Abdoul? Either way, he'll probably like Wake Island.
