Deported Algerian: US army used 3 helicopters and 5 cars to kidnap him
Ech-Chorouk, on Wednesday, August 02, 2007
Kaci Nourredine is an Algerian man who has been wanted by the International Police (Interpol). He was deported from Italy to Algeria, 5 days ago.
The 40-year-old man went to Milan in Italy in 1989. His brother was living there, Kaci Nourredine told Echorouk Al Yaoumi.
Kaci was a legal resident and managed to study and work. He mentioned that he had never been in troubles with Italian authorities.
“In Italy, I was visiting my family in Algeria every year,” he said.
In 1995, he decided to leave Italy and go to Bosnia after war had broken out.
“Muslims and Arabs were influent in an old policy during the 1980’s”
Kaci Nourredine said he willingly participated in the war against Serbs who launched crusades.
“I am not remorseful for what I did for Bosnia, » he said. In the end of the war, Kaci stayed in Sarajevo and married with a Muslim Bosnian woman.
According to him, the U.S. army and Italian forces were all the time chasing militants in the war in Bosnia.
He said the U.S. army mobilised 3 Apatchi helicopters and 50 cars to kidnap him in 2004.
“They went to the wrong place where they found my brother in law. They surrounded him and broke the door. Then, they started breaking everything,” said Kaci Nourredine. He was able to escape with the help of the inhabitants of the village where he lived and two other Tunisians.
“The Six Algerians detained at Gunatanamo have nothing to do with terrorism”
Asked about the reason of that operation, he said they were going to take him to a secrete detention as it was the case of many Muslims and Arabs.
He said this event pushed the Italian security authorities to chase him later and include him in the list of wanted by the Interpol.
The six Algerian detainees at Gunatanamo Bay, Cuba who have Bosnian nationalities have nothing to do with terrorism, according to Kaci.
He knows some of them: Mustapha Ait Drine from Algiers, Boumediene from the west, Omar from Msila (east of Algiers) and another one from Ouarguala (south of Algiers).
“I am not sure about that but I think they were involved because they had ties with a suspicious person,” he said.
He later said the United States of America have been looking for pretext to uprooted Muslims and Arabs since September 11th. “We were facing obstacles to renew residence and obtain nationality. However, Croatians, Serbs and mercenaries were privileged. I confirm that there is a project to get rid from Muslims and Arabs in Bosnia,” he said.
“The judge told me you were friends but now you are our enemies”
In 2006, Kaci Nourredine decided to contact the Algerian embassy in Bosnia to benefit from the provisions of the Charter for Peace and National Reconciliation. Later, he went to Algeria and got a passport.
Then, he was obliged to go to Italy to settle the situation of his wife and take her to Algeria.
He was arrested by Italian security services on charges of counterfeit but he discovered later that he was sued for joing Al-Qaeda.
Kaci said he was taken to a prison for mafia although his case had something to do with counterfeit only.
According to him, the judge who was specialised in his case told his “you were friends but you are now enemies,” referring to changes occurred after the September 11th events in the U.S.
Six months later, his case was handled again but the examining magistrate and the police commissioner who arrested Kaci did not show up. The police commissioner said he caught cold.
“Later, I was deported to Algeria because I was accused of counterfeit. Why did they kick me out,” he wondered.
“I was supposed to be expelled to Sarajevo. It is the country from which I entered Bosnia but they did not do that,” he said.
