MONTEVIDEO, 27 JUL - Jihad Ahmed Diyab, one of six former Guantanamo detainees welcomed by Uruguay that was wanted in Brazil, has been seen in Venezuela, said Uruguayan Foreign Minister Rodolfo Nin Novoa.
Earlier this month, representatives of the Federal Police (PF) confirmed that Diyab was wanted in the country and had been taken several security measures, especially given the proximity of the Olympic Games.
The fear was that he was binding the some terrorist cell because, before being sent to Guantanamo, acted as a recruiter of al-Qaeda.
According to Novoa, Diyab presented to the Uruguayan consulate in Caracas after being last seen more than a month on the border with Brazil. He arrived in Venezuela after crossing the bus country, carrying Uruguayan documents. The press of Uruguay reported that he intends to travel to Turkey, where he has family. Diyab, 44, was born in the Syrian father and Argentine mother and Lebanon a few months ago had tried to enter the Brazilian territory, unable to. According to Uruguayan newspapers, he is the most "rebel" of the six former detainees welcomed by the then government of President Jose Mujica in December 2014. He has even accused Uruguay of not fulfilling what was promised to forward to and he advised against other Guantanamo detainees to move to the country.
