On the no-fly list, but flying?
GULET MOHAMED is an American teenager who has been detained in Kuwait for nearly a month. He says he was beaten by Kuwaiti authorities. He also says he was questioned by the FBI multiple times even though he repeatedly asked for his lawyer. (Under American law, custodial interrogations are supposed to stop in most cases as soon as the subject asks for counsel.) The US government could have good reasons to be suspicious of Mr Mohamed: after all, he did travel to Somalia and Yemen, two hotbeds of anti-American radicalism, in 2009. Mr Mohamed, his family, and his lawyer claim the teen was learning Arabic and getting in touch with his roots.
Mr Mohamed, who grew up in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC, wants to return to the US. US officials told the New York Times that Mr Mohamed's on the federal no-fly list. But the Kuwaitis are now telling Mr Mohamed's family that they plan to try to deport him anyway, setting up a clash between America, the Kuwaitis, and United Airlines, on which Mr Mohamed is booked to fly to Washington at 12:45 a.m. on Monday.
