Prague, 19 August: Oussama Kassir, a Swede of Lebanese origin who is suspected of terrorism and wanted by the USA, will remain in Czech custody as the Prague City Court has turned down his proposal that he be released, the daily Pravo writes today.

"The objections Kassir made in his proposal have not been found substantiated. At the same time, the court has found reasons to keep him in custody," the court deputy chairman Bohuslav Horky told the paper.

One month ago, Kassir complained about his imprisonment with the Constitutional Court. "This complaint has not been handled yet," the court spokesman Michal Spacil said.

Kassir was arrested by the Czech police on the basis of an international arrest warrant at Prague's Ruzyne airport during a stop-over of his plane flying from Stockholm to Beirut last December.

US authorities have charged Kassir with conspiracy aimed at providing material support to terrorists for which he faces up to a life sentence in the USA if found guilty.

The Prague City Court has already started to discuss Kassir's possible extradition to the USA. It has not made any decision yet, as it wants to ask Sweden and the USA for further evidence.

Kassir allegedly participated in building a training camp for Jihad in Oregon, USA from where the trained Muslims were to move to Afghanistan.

The camp, however, seems to have been only planned but never built.

Kassir has denied all the allegation, claiming that they were fabricated and extorted under pressure and torture. He said that he was afraid of his extradition to the USA.

On the internet Oussama Kassir used the names 'Abu Khadija' and 'Zubeidah1417', operated something he called "The Islamic Media Center (IMC)", and was the purveyor of some of the very finest of jihadist training materials.
