Feds to Free Egyptian Held in Attacks on December 11 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The government agreed Tuesday to release a 19-year-old Egyptian man who was taken into custody after Sept. 11 and held for weeks even after he was cleared of involvement in the terrorist attacks, his lawyer said.

Mohamed Omar was on a six-month tourist visa when he was detained by federal agents Sept. 18 for working illegally at a gas station owned by a friend’s father.

He was questioned and cleared of criminal involvement by the FBI and approved for release by an immigration judge a week later, but remained locked up for 11 weeks without explanation, said his attorney, Sohail Mohammed.
