Danish Detainee Hears Call Of Jihad
Well at least this one is honest. Slimane Hadj Abderrahmane, who was released to Denmark from Guantanamo Bay in February, has told the United States that they can "use as toilet paper" the deal he struck with them to give up his "militant" activities.
Abderrahmane, who was captured in Pakistan and was suspected of training in Afghanistan to fight in Chechnya, already courted controversy in Denmark when he warned that attacks on Danes would be justified because of their involvement in Iraq.
This week, he went on to claim that he couldn't wait to get to Chechnya to "fight for the Muslims" there.
Denmark's justice minister seems a little embarrassed by Abderrahmane's rants. The BBC reports the minister as saying that the Jihadi - who has a Danish mother and Algerian father - presented "a new situation which the law enforcement authorities must reconsider."
A Danish far-right party has a better idea, demanding that he should be booted back to Guantanamo.
