Activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan
Ghezali says that he was in Afghanistan on September 11th 2001 living with a normal family in Jalalabad. "I lived a simple life, playing with the children and seeing how Afghans lived." He also said that he had no contact with al-Qaeda.
At a press conference following his return to Sweden Ghezali said the following about the al-Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden:
| “ | Jag känner honom inte som person och därför kan jag inte döma honom. Jag tror inte pÃ¥ det amerikanerna säger om honom. Det är mycket som inte stämmer. (I do not know him as a person and therefore cannot pass judgment on him. I do not believe what the Americans say about him. There is a lot that does not add up.) | ” |

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
