Dhina was investigated for smuggling weapons from Switzerland to Algeria, but non convicted. His political asylum was revoked, but the Swiss have allowed him to stay anyway.

But the European government refuse to accept responsibility, or admit that the Islamic fundamentalists are as bad as the Algerians say.
