Safia Benaouda (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Safie Benaouda is a citizen of Sweden who had fallen under suspicion of an association with terrorism. In an interview with Raymond Bonner of the International Herald Tribune Benaouda said she and her fiance fellow Swede Munir Awad had traveled to Dubai, on vacation, but were disappointed at how commercialized facilities for tourists were. So they traveled to Somalia to see a more traditional Muslim culture. They arrived in Somalia shortly before it was invaded by Kenya. Benaouda described an American woman dying in her arms, and described caring for her three children until they were captured. She said the soldiers who captured her were lead by three Americans.
