The Real Moazzam Begg

Ex-Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg was arrested earlier today as part of raid conducted by counterterrorism officials in the UK. Begg has spent most of his time living in the UK following his release from Guantanamo in 2005. He is one of the most prolific anti-Guantanamo advocates.

Counterterrorism officials say he is suspected of committing “Syria-related terrorism offenses.” The BBC reports that he “was detained on suspicion of attending a terrorist training camp and facilitating terrorism overseas.” Three others were also arrested on the same charges.
