Germany holds suspected former bin Laden bodyguard pending deportation
None
A Tunisian man suspected of being an Islamist radical who once served as Osama bin Laden's bodyguard is in detention in Germany pending deportation to Tunisia, a spokesman for the city of Bochum said on Tuesday.
The case of Sami A. sparked outrage in April after German media reported he was receiving welfare benefits even though intelligence agencies had classified him as a potential threat.
Police said on Monday that they had arrested Sami A. after being asked to do so by authorities in the western city of Bochum and he had offered no resistance.
