"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 man was on a Czech Airlines flight from Stockholm to Beirut on Sunday, but never got there after stopping over in Prague, the paper said.

The Swedish foreign ministry confirmed that a Swedish man was missing but would not confirm the newspaper's report. "

there they go again....claiming these murderous moslem immigrants as their own , calling them Swedes , Brits, French ,Americans , or what not. They are not! They are nothing more than espionage agents for the religion of Allah . When will the West stop granting any citizenship status to these miscreants entirely? Not a moment too soon....

C-SPAN this morning broadcast the debates in the Irish parliament about American "torture." Labour, the Progressive Democrats, Independents, and Greens were having a great time bashing the United States. Bertie Aherne gave a rather somnolent defense. I'm sorry to say it but the hypocrites in western Europe need a few major terrorist attacks to wake them up.

Prague is a city that has become infused with slavic mafia...wondering whether the "islamist" had some business to do before leaving for beirut.
