 [Ma'an] A Paleostinian family in Gazoo has received news that their son, Mahmoud Abu Rideh, died a few days ago in a US bombing in Afghanistan.
The man's family, from Bani Sheila - a town east of Khan Younis - heard from friend's of their son that Mahmoud was with a group of 'mujahideen' before the Arclight airstrike.
Abu Rideh had moved to the UK in 1995 and received a residence permit in November 1998.
| One of those multiculturals who add such excitement to modern British life... and apparently Afghan life as well. |
Some of his family members are British nationals.
After the 9/11 attacks, Abu Rideh was nabbed along with 17 others and he was banned from meeting his family.
| It sounds like they thought they had grounds to suspect him of something. Ah, for the days after 9/11 when it wasn't yet necessary to set political correctness before national security. |
Ma'an reported at the time that Abu Rideh was nabbed.
| Presumably he has been since set free. |
His conditions were so severe that he apparently attempted to kill himself three times.
| And now he has succeeded. |
