Former terror suspect sues Detroit jail
UPI ^ | 11/28/2005

DETROIT, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- A Moroccan immigrant held in a Detroit jail as a terrorist suspect for three years has sued, claiming that he was deliberately fed pork and humiliated.

Karim Koubriti's suit names Wayne County, five unnamed sheriff's deputies and one identified only as "Rojo," the Detroit News reported.

"The actions of the Wayne County Sheriff's Department were completely outrageous," said Koubriti's lawyer, Ben Gonek. "They only added more insult to the injuries he was already sustaining by the federal government."

Koubriti, in legal papers, claims he and four other alleged terrorists were strip-searched without need when other prisoners were only made to strip to their underwear. He said they were made to eat pork in spite of the Muslim dietary laws.

A spokesman for the county said pork has not been served in the jail for years and that security standards for federal prisoners are set by the U.S. marshals.

I think Muslims are against eating pig because it`s basically cannibalism to them.

The guy is fabricating being fed pork; according to the article the prison has not served pork in years. And if they did, he didn't have to eat it. Strip search is the procedure dude! Case dismissed.

Hell the Sheriff should get a commendation for restraint. At least the didn't subject him to the dehumanizing, debilitating Women's Underwear on the Head Torture. That would warrant a full blown lawsuit. /sarc

* Karim Koubriti :
Ismael Ahmed—Ahmed heads the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS), the largest Arab welfare agency in North America, which funded driving lessons for men believed to be Al-Quaida terrorists. Ahmed strongly opposed the Clinton Counter-terrorism Act of 1996 because it prohibited donations to terrorist groups.

When federal authorities looked for Nabil Almarabh, believed to be a close associate to Osama Bin Laden, they found three men in Almarabh’s former southwest Detroit residence. The men--who still had IDs from their former jobs as Detroit Airport Sky Chef employees--possessed false IDs, and a day planner with notes and sketches regarding a U.S. military base in Turkey, a Turkish airport, the American “foreign minister” and the Amman, Jordan airport. According to the Detroit Free Press, Ahmed’s ACCESS funded commercial driving lessons and attempts for hazardous materials hauling certificates for two of the three men, Ahmed Hannan and Karim Koubriti.

Ahmed didn’t seem to care much about this, even though, ACCESS—which had $8 million in revenue in 2000—gets at least 60 percent of its funds from us taxpayers, according to Crain’s Detroit Business. “We send people to all kinds of training programs and we don’t check their political credentials.” In other words, “I don’t care if your tax money funds my agency, it’s my party, and I’ll help terrorists if I want to.”

This tax-funded organization, which sees being an Al-Quaida terrorist a mere, benign “political credential” is now being paid $1.3 million to provide “sensitivity training” on Arabs and Muslims to the Dearborn Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, and Dearborn and Detroit Public Schools....--------"Look Who's Coming to Dinner," columnist Debbie Schlussel

During Friday's court hearing, Convertino introduced a transcript from one of about 100 audio tapes found in the flat. The transcript said "Allah, take away the Jews and the Christians, and whoever helped them and stood with them. . . . kill them all and don't keep any of them alive. . . . destroy them with total destruction." Ali-Haimoud's lawyer, Ernst, said the documents and other items belonged to Koubriti and Hannan and that Ali-Haimoud had lived with the men for only a short time.---- "Terror suspect ordered jailed: Detroiter, roommates planning attacks, U.S. says," by DAVID ASHENFELTER, Detroit Free Press, April 6, 2002

"Before going to Michigan, Hannan and Koubriti rented at least two apartments in Canton, Ohio, and worked odd jobs in the area, including stints at the Case Farms chicken processing plant in Winesburg, about 25 miles southwest of Canton." ------- http://www.wkyc.com/news/morelocal/canton/020405attackinvestigation.asp

the prison has not served pork in years

Speaking an Iowan, this is terrible! Where is our pork pork? We need a market for the cuts you only eat when there's no other choice. I'd assumed Sen. Harkin had cut a deal for us with his buddy Sen. Levin. We buy the Detroit's auto seconds for our prisons and they buy our pork seconds for theirs. Detroit is known for having many prisoners to feed and now that we're not guarding our prisoners we need lots of vehicles to chase after them. Everyone gains. It must be Bush's fault. I bet Haliburton was given the prison kitchen contract and has been feeding them bird flu tainted chickens from Mexico.

""The actions of the Wayne County Sheriff's Department were completely outrageous," said Koubriti's lawyer, Ben Gonek."

Mr. Benjamin Gonek didn't have to accept the ridiculous case, but he saw potential $$$$$ from a law suit. Also, the Judge has the power to dismiss frivilous law suits, so the blame for these sham suits by captive muslim terrorists doesn't completely lie with the islamofacists. These scum are playing our greedy, corrupt lawyers and liberal judicial system like puppets.

He was safer in jail than on the streets of Detroit.

If he doesn't like pork in jail, maybe I could supply them (cheap!) with 8 eyed, 5 legged fish from Chernobyl.
