“The army showed journalists a pile of documents that they said they had seized.”
Among the papers was the German passport in Bahaji’s name, which included his signature and a photo of him in a red shirt.”
My literal mind interprets this to be at least 2 passports—one from Spain and one from Germany in Bahahji’s name. Now the picture shows a US passport as well, and the first paragraph says: “the passport and another one from Spain”. You could interpret “among the papers was the German passport” as a third passport: the US one and the one from Spain and other documents, which included the one from Germany.
In any event, the article was poorly written and there are at least 2 passports, at least one from Germany with Bahaji’s name.
It is a poorly written article. Adding a 2 letter country code was too much work. The journalist pool must be drying up.
