I want to see US says freed Afghan

Wednesday March 17 2004

FOR a man who had just been freed after two years in Guantanamo Bay, it seemed odd that Haji Osman said he wanted to visit the "good people" in the US, writes Hamida Ghafour.

Osman (35), had just been flown back to Kabul with 22 other men accused of links to the Taliban regime.

But he said yesterday he did not resent his captors and Camp Delta was not as bad as rural Afghanistan.

Osman said: "If you compare it to life in the village, it was good, except we were not free. The food was fresh: chicken, fish, meat, rice and even bananas and oranges." (© Daily Telegraph, London)
