According to this story, Danish authorities are investigating whether a prisoner recently-released from Guantanamo Bay should be arrested and returned to U.S. custody.
Slimane Hadj Abderahmane
In a television interview, former prisoner Slimane Hadj Abderahmane said Denmark's cabinet ministers were fair targets and vowed to travel to fight Russian forces in Chechnya. Slimane Hadj Abderahmane is the 31-year-old son of an Algerian father and Danish mother who was arrested in Pakistan at the end of 2001 after he fled neighboring Afghanistan following U.S. military strikes there. Abderahmane spent two years at Gitmo as an enemy combatant and was released last February.
One of the conditions for his release from the base on Cuba was that he signed a statement that he would not partake in terror actions. He now says he will hide from the Danish authorities until he can get to Chechnya.Conservative juridical spokesperson Helge Adam Moeller stated that Abderahmane should be sent to prison for murder threats and, also,
"He's a terrorist. He wants to go to a place where he can kill women and children."Maybe so. Or maybe it's getting cold in Denmark and, fondly recalling the tropical climate in Cuba, maybe he wants to go back. Either way, the authorities of Denmark, the U.S., and Russia have taken a keen interest in the case.
