Swedish terrorist suspect Oussama Kassir, who was detained in Prague on
Sunday, has accused the FBI of "manufacturing" a case against him,
adding that it was "politically directed against Islam". In a statement
released by his Czech lawyer, the 39-year old Swedish national said the
United States wanted to embarrass the Swedish and Czech governments. Mr
Kassir, the subject of an international arrest warrant for allegedly
abetting terrorists was arrested as he stepped off a plane at Prague
airport on Sunday evening on his way from Stockholm to Beirut. Sweden
has never agreed to extradite Mr Kassir, who originates from Lebanon
and has Swedish citizenship.
