| A member of Bahrains royal family is among suspected members or sympathizers of the Al-Qaeda network detained at a US base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, his father said yesterday in an Arabic newspaper. Sheikh Salman ibn Ibrahim Al-Khalifa is accused of sympathizing with Al-Qaeda, Sheikh Ibrahim ibn Muhammad Al-Khalifa told the London-based daily Asharq Al-Awsat. They don't round them up and send them to Guantanamo just for providing tea and sympathy... He said Sheikh Salman had been detained in Pakistan and handed over to the Americans for the sum of $20,000, without explaining to whom the money was handed over. His son moved to Saudi Arabia in 2000 for religious studies and then contacted the family three months later from Pakistan to say he was doing charity work, Sheikh Ibrahim said. We have contacted the foreign and interior ministries in Bahrain and they have taken action in this case to secure Sheikh Salmans release, he said, adding that a total of six Bahrainis were currently being held in Guantanamo. "Hi! I'm from the United Islamist Charities! This week we're donating over 25 tons of 7.62mm ammunition to the needy in Balochistan..." |
