Suspected terrorist wants back in prison after Nintendo Wii confiscated

Mohamed Zeki Mahjoub, a former colleague of Osama Bin Laden, was thrown in a Canadian jail under suspect of being a terrorist. After all, Mr. Mahjoub worked for Bin Laden's agricultural company, which was named in the US indictment of Bin Laden as a cover for terrorist activities.

However, after almost seven years and no conviction, Canada released Mr. Mahjoub. He was free to go home, but there were security restrictions put in place. He was originally under house arrest (though that was partially lifted), he couldn't be at home alone during the day with his young children, and he wasn't allowed an internet connection.

Due to its online capabilities, his Nintendo Wii was confiscated by the authorities.

Mahjoub is now asking to be let back into prison, claiming that the security restrictions placed on him are hurting his family life. Was the loss of the Nintendo Wii the last straw? Maybe he couldn't bond with his family without it.

    Too bad he's not in the USA. Innocent until proven guilty and restrictions on Nintendo use is considered "cruel and unusual" punishment.

    As long as they didn't take my Xbox, I'd be happy.
