‘The day I met bin Laden’: From France to Afghanistan to detention at Guantanamo • FRANCE 24

The “Maghreb-Orient des livres” book festival takes place in Paris this weekend, focusing on literature from north Africa and the Middle East. One of those taking part is Jérémie Dres, the author of the graphic novel “The day I met bin Laden”. It features the story of two young French men who travelled from France to Afghanistan in the spring of 2001, just months before the 9/11 terror attacks. The pair then found themselves trapped in Afghanistan and were later sent to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. The author joined us for Perspective to tell us more.
