Germany gets Bin Laden guard off UN, US blacklists
05 January 2005
BERLIN: A former bodyguard of Osama bin Laden, recently freed from prison in Germany, has been removed from the United Nations' and United States terror blacklists in a rare move that follows months of German lobbying in Washington.
The delistings of Shadi Abdalla are a victory for Germany, which values him as a key informant against other militant suspects still on trial and has given him a new identity and placed him under police protection.
A UN website said he was only the fifth person, and the first in more than two years, to be removed from its list of militants whose assets all UN member states must freeze

Thank you, I had missed this report.
Would love to know what he told the Feds.
