'Bin Laden bodyguard' on German welfare
BBC ^

Posted on 04/24/2018 8:16:36 AM PDT by BenLurkin

A Tunisian man who once allegedly protected Osama Bin Laden has lived in Germany since 1997 and gets €1,168 (£1,022) a month in welfare payments.

The figure was revealed by a regional government, after the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) asked about the man, known as Sami A.

German media have not reported the man's full name for privacy reasons.

He denies jihadist links. Deportation to Tunisia was ruled out because of fears that he could be tortured there.

At least three of the 9/11 suicide pilots were members of an al-Qaeda cell based in Hamburg, northern Germany.

According to witness testimony from a German anti-terror trial in 2005, Sami A served for several months in 2000 as one of Bin Laden's bodyguards in Afghanistan. He denies that, but judges in Düsseldorf believed the witness.

I love it. All our troops stationed there to help finance their 6 week vacations. Our taxpayers get 2 weeks.

There are no free countries left in Western Europe. It isn’t worth spending our blood and treasure on them. We need to exit NATO and Europe.

Tunesia? I believe they have “Club Meds” where thousands of Europeans vacation each year. Just send him to one of those.
