Or should I say, 11 Kurds.

MULTAN: A Swedish citizen with the same name as another Swede who was 
arrested in Pakistan in 2001 and held for two years at the Guantanamo Bay 
prison camp, was detained last month on suspicion of links to Al Qaeda, 
police said on Friday.

Mehdi Muhammed Ghezali was arrested with three other Swedes and seven Turks 
near the country's Tribal Areas, a police officer said on condition of 
anonymity. A Pakistani man was also travelling with them, he added.

He did not know about Ghezali's past activities, but confirmed he was 
carrying a Swedish passport bearing the name Mehdi Muhammed Ghezali. A 
police document obtained by The Associated Press lists the names of the 12 
arrested men, including Ghezali and three other Swedish citizens, including 
a woman. The document identified the Pakistani man as a member of a 
paramilitary force in the northwest.

A Swedish national by the name of Ghezali was held for more than two years 
by the US at its prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after Pakistani authorities 
arrested him in 2001.

Ghezali reportedly was part of a group of 156 suspected Al Qaeda fighters 
caught while fleeing from Afghanistan's Tora Bora Mountains.

Ghezali denied any links to Al Qaeda and was released by the US in 2004.

A spokeswoman at the Foreign Ministry in Stockholm said it had received no 
information on the matter.

The 11 foreigners were arrested on August 28 in Dera Ghazi Khan. Police said 
at the time, they had entered the country from Iran and were planning to 
travel to the Tribal Areas. One was carrying a laptop computer and $10,000.

It was not clear where they were being held.

At the time of the arrests, police did not say whether there were any 
Swedish nationals among the group.

This is a hot one. More later.

Fox noticed this one:

It is now the top story at http://www.dawn.com , but they give no additional 
information.

The Times (Pakistan):

A Swedish national who was imprisoned at the US military base in Guant?namo 
Bay for several years has been arrested in Pakistan. Mehdi Ghezali was 
arrested last week at a checkpoint in the southern town of Dera Ghazi Khan. 
He was travelling with a group of foreigners to the South Waziristan tribal 
region, an al-Qaeda stronghold on the border with Afghanistan. Mr Ghezali is 
among three Swedes and four Turks who are now being interrogated by 
Pakistani Intelligence on suspicion of entering the country illegally and to 
see if they have links with militants. A senior Pakistani army officer said 
that they had come to Pakistan via Iran. Mr Ghezali was carrying a laptop 
and $10,000 (£6,000). A resident of Orebro, in central Sweden, Mr Ghezali, 
30, had previously been arrested in December 2001 near the Tora Bora 
mountains in eastern Afghanistan and was handed over to the US military. He 
spent more than two years at Guant?namo Bay before being released in 2004 
without charge.

Maybe the laptop carried the missing 9/11 anniversary video. But that's not 
really important. A lot of AQ's propaganda goes through Turkey, definitely. 
That applies in particular to the Islamic Jihad Union, which is largely 
German ex-Turkish. The Muslims in Sweden are mostly Turks as well. The 
Turkish propaganda nexus has agents in a few European countries including 
Sweden.

see www.dawn.com for a report that the Swedish gov't has been told by 
Islamabad that three Swedes were picked up in August.
