Swedish jihad update. He "loved bin Laden." From AFP, with thanks to Kakui:
A 39-year-old Swede accused of terrorism by the United States has been arrested in Prague, Swedish tabloid Expressen reported on Tuesday.The man, who was not identified, is wanted by the US CIA spy agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which accuse him of being terror mastermind Osama Bin Laden's "man in Sweden", Expressen wrote.
The US has tried to obtain his extradition for several years, accusing him of setting up Al Qaeda training camps in the US state of Oregon in 1999, but Sweden has refused to hand him over, the paper said....
The paper said that the Swede was also accused of having links to the group that carried out the July 7th bombings in London.
Expressen met the 39-year-old earlier this year when he denied having anything to do with the London bombings.
But he stressed that he "loved Bin Laden".
"You don't have to be a terrorist to love Bin Laden," he told the paper.
But it helps!
According to Expressen, the man was accused in Sweden of plotting terrorist attacks several years ago but was freed for lack of evidence. He was later sentenced to a year behind bars on a weapons offence.

Excerpt: Utter ignorance of history enables any war with any casualties to be depicted in the media as an unmitigated disaster.
Even after Nazi Germany surrendered at the end of World War II, die-hard Nazi guerrilla units terrorized and assassinated both German officials and German civilians who cooperated with Allied occupation authorities.

The following debate article concerns the same fellow, Oussama Kassir. He was travelling to his home country of Lebanon from Sweden when he disappeared. According to Swedish media, his mother is convinced the Swedish security police (SAPO) tipped off the Tjeckien authorities.

"A 39-year-old Swede...who was not identified..."
No thanks to AFP, but thanks to Rolle, we know that the Swede's name is Osama, and that he's from the frosty parka-wearing Lebanon.
As always, the MSM is being rather coy about the identify of the jihadists.
I'm sure it could have been any Swede who was waging jihad, it just so happened that he's a Muslim. If the number of religions in the world is conservatively around 100, then one might expect that only 1% of the world's terrorists would be Muslim. What are the odds that yet another terrorist just happened to be a Muslim? It's like we flipped a coin and it landed standing up on it's side, 10 times in a row. Weird.

USA says this Lebanese pseudo-Swede Oussama Kassir was involved in setting up a terror cell in Oregon. Anybody know if that cell was the "Portland Six", headed by Habis Adullah al-Saoub?http://www.rewardsforjustice.net/english/wanted_captured/index.cfm?page=Al_Saoub
