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:
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
