Two extradited prisoners from Guantanamo Bay subject to cross examination in Algeria
2008-08-29
A new batch of Algerian detained in Guantanamo Bay prison are subject to cross examination by security services, in order to get more information about how did they get to Afghanistan, reliable sources told El Khabar.

The think is about Abdelah Faghoul and Abdelkader Terari. The same sources mentioned that the officials of the US prison have sent the two abovementioned prisoners on a plane last Tuesday, while they arrived to Algeria yesterday, where some detectives have been waiting for them for cross examination. They are expected to appear before the examining magistrate at Sidi M'hemed Court in Algiers to answer questions inspired from the police cross examination report.

Security services receive in such cases reports from authorities of the country where the prisoners used to be detained, in accordance to bilateral conventions being sealed between the two countries. Generally, prisoners being extradited to their country of origin face charges of belonging to terror groups operating abroad.

However, the US Defence Secretary said in a communiqué, of which El Khabar got a copy, the two Algerians, without citing their names, have been released as they have met the extradition conditions, while it reflects, also, an understanding from the United States.

maybe it's a reference to the roman tradition of crucifixion.

#1  Euphemism: A euphemism is a substitution of an agreeable or less offensive expression in place of one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener; or in the case of doublespeak, to make it less troublesome for the speaker.

Example: A new batch of Algerian detained in Guantanamo Bay prison are subject to cross examination by security services.
