| Germany wants to contact citzen held by the US in Afghanistan | |
| 2011-01-27 | |
| Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle says that diplomats have asked to see one of their citizens of Afghan origin who is currently in US military custody. Prosecutors in Frankfurt had previously said the man, Haddid N, 23, a civil engineering student, had been investigated by Germany and had his passport seized because of suspicions that he wanted to join the jihad in Afghanistan.
She said the confiscation of the passport had prevented Haddid N travelling to Bahrain, where he said he planned to board a further flight to Dubai to take a holiday in his brother's company. He sued for the return of his passport and won his case against German authorities. A newspaper, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, said the man was taken into custody on January 8 at his father's home in Kabul. | |
