Germany cannot deport Osama bin Laden’s former bodyguard

Excerpt:

The government of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) said on Tuesday it was not possible to deport a former bodyguard of slain terrorist Osama bin Laden, who is currently living in the state, because of fears that he could be tortured or treated badly in his homeland.

The man, identified as Sami A. in accordance with German privacy laws, has been living in the western German city of Bochum for more than a decade.

He remains ineligible for deportation, the state government said in response to a query by two members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the state legislature.

In its answer to the AfD inquiry, the NRW government confirmed that Sami A. gets €1,168 ($1,429) each month in welfare payments.
