Berlin

The German government recently granted residency to ex-Guantanamo detainees Ahmed Mohammed al-Shurfa and Mahmoud Salim al-Ali, who arrived last Thursday in Germany. While the Bild, Germany’s largest daily newspaper, editorialized against the relocation of the two Taliban fighters (both connected with training at al Qaeda terror camps in Afghanistan), Germany’s interior minister defended the decision, claiming that his nation “made its humanitarian contribution to closing the detention center.”
