A Muslim terrorist said to have confessed to planning to blow up the US Embassy in Paris on the orders of bin Laden has denied any involvement. Lawyers for Franco-Algerian Djamel Beghal, who was extradited to France from Dubai on Monday, said yesterday: "He has contested being commissioned by anybody to organise, prepare and carry out terrorist acts, notably against US interests in Paris." They added that earlier statements by Beghal linking him with bin Laden were made in "indeterminate circumstances" in Dubai. |
