ウサマ・ビンラディン師を911以後、インタビューしたことで、有名なシリア生まれのアルジャジーラ記者が、アルカイーダと関わった容疑で、スペイン当局に拘束されている。
こちらの記事にはありませんが、タリバン崩壊後、アフガニスタンの子供を支援するボランティア団体に、1500USドル相当の寄付をしたことが、テロ容疑になったそうです。先日、フランスのパレスチナ支援ボランティア団体がやはりアメリカからテロ支援をしていると、指摘されてます。日本にも、各種ボランティア団体がありますが、アメリカに指摘されていることは、間違いなく、アフガニスタンに、パレスチナに、お金が届いている裏づけとも言えます。
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Syria’s Union of Journalists condemned the arrest of Syrian-born Taysir Alouni last week, famous for his interview with Usama Bin Ladin shortly after 11 September 2001.
"To arrest a journalist for performing his duty is a confiscation of the freedom of expression guaranteed by all international pacts," the statement said.
Alouni himself denies any link to al-Qaida or Taliban.
But Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon on Monday ordered the Spanish national be held for an additional 72 hours until police could provide some evidence to back their claims he provided information and living expenses to al-Qaida operatives.

Garzon is also investigating Alouni’s connections with Imad al-Din Barakat Yarkas who was arrested on suspicion of being the ringleader of an Islamist cell which Spanish authorities dismantled in November 2001.
Extended detention
Spanish state prosecutor Pedro Rubira accused Alouni of involvement in "the organisation of, support for and infrastructure of this cell," according to the warrant for his arrest.
Spanish law allows police to detain suspects for three days without access to lawyers or family, with prolonged detention needing judicial authorisation.
Alouni is also accused of "furnishing al-Qaida with funds in Afghanistan," where he was an Aljazeera correspondent during the 2001 US-led war which brought the end of Taliban rule.
Response
Aljazeera spokesperson Jihad Balout criticised Spain's detention of Alouni saying, it "is another inconvenience to which journalists in general and those from Aljazeera in particular fall victim".
Ballout added that Aljazeera had appointed a lawyer for Alouni and had been in contact with Spanish authorities as well as non-governmental organisations defending the freedom of the press.
Alouni rose to prominence during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Escape from death
He narrowly escaped death when US warplanes bombed the Kabul offices of Aljazeera during the closing days of the war to oust the Taliban in November 2001 when Afghan officials advised him to leave the building.
Alouni was one of Aljazeera's eight correspondents in Iraq, but was expelled by Iraqi authorities during the war. Before that he worked as a translator during the 1990s for Spain's EFE news agency.
Spanish authorities have tracked his movements since at least October 2001, when the newspaper El Pais reported that Alouni's phone had been tapped by authorities while he was working for the agency's Arabic section.
