Twist for Guantanamo three
The extraordinary and desperate twists and turns of Guantanamo. Three
British residents have flown back to Britain. All three to be checked
out in police interview before being freed, but one of them suddenly
finds himself in the Machiavellian [more Kafkaesque than Machiavellian
- -NYTr] position of having been cleared here and in the UK, only to find
himself a suspect in Spain. The police liaison officers were already
helping to prepare the family at his home, waiting to receive him,
themselves oblivious of the latest twist. This afternoon Vanessa
Redgrave and others stepped forward to offer 50,000 surety and he
should now get bail.

Guantanamo man arrested in UK
By Zoe Conway
Channel 4 News
One of three British residents flown here from Guantanamo Bay last
night is now in court fighting extradition to Spain, instead of being
reunited with his family.
Omar Deghiyees, Abdenore Samore and Jamil el Banna were detained at
Guantanamo Bay for more than four years without trial or charge.
They arrived in the uk late last night but their freedom short lived.
Deghiyees and Samore were arrested on the plane under the Terrorism Act.
Jamil el-Banna was arrested this morning on a European arrest warrant -
the police say the warrant was issued by the Spanish government and
concerns terrorism-related offences. his lawyer says it's based on
false evidence.
At the city of London magistrates' court this morning El-Banna appeared
at an extradition hearing. It has also emerged that Deghiyees will
appear at an extradition hearing there this afternoon - family members
and sup****ters of both men criticised their treatment by the British
Government: Jamil el-Banna is a Jordanian with refugee status in the
UK. He was arrested in the Gambia in 2002, he has links to the
Jordanian radical cleric Abu Qatada. Originally from Libya, he was
given refugee status in the 1980s - he was re****tedly arrested in
Pakistan shortly after the fall of the Taliban in 2001.
Abdulnore Samore is an Algerian - his refugee status was awarded by the
UK seven years ago. Re****tedly arrested in the mountains between
Pakistan and Afghanistan in 2001. He's also re****ted to have claimed
that his captors forced him to confess that he'd had prior knowledge of
the September 11th attacks.
The Spanish are believed to want to extradite Omar Deghayes because of
a Chechen terrorist training video which pur****ts to show Mr Deghiyees.
But his lawyer says the video features a Saudi man who is now dead.
