 * FBI Sued.**

A New Jersey man, Amir Meshal, filed a lawsuit against againsthe FBI agents and other unidentified American officials who he says interrogated him and threatened him with execution and because he was treated horribly in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia. Amir Meshal is 26 years old, an American citizen and a Muslim. He said that he was captured by soldiers in Kenya and that he was jailed and questioned by Americans who he thinks were people from the FBI. They accused him of working for Al Qaeda and was flown to Somalia and then to Ethiopia. He was then held for 3+ months and repeatedly questioned by American interrogators the lawsuit says.

I thought that the "innocent until proven guilty" method wasn't used in this case. That Amir did not get a fair trial when we has arrested. I think all governments are flawed and that they always would be. The world is not perfect and it probably never will be, with all the issues going on between the countries and inside the countries, violence just just never end.

The similarites I found for these 2 articles was that their subject was the same and the length was about the same too. Also how he got arrested was also the same, both said that the FBI thought he was working for Al Qaeda. Both article titles state that the FBI was getting sued.

There was a lot of differences between these 2 articles. Their titles were different **BBC:** FBI Sued over Ethiopian Jailing**. NYTIMES:** American Sues F.B.I., Saying He Was Detained in Africa. the NYTIMES article's title was much more detailed and explaind more about the article. Both articles had very differnt quotes by very different people. BBC: "American citizens abroad who seek refuge from hostilities deserve the assistance of their government in getting home safely," AP quotes ACLU lawyer Nusrat Choudhury as saying. NYIMES:“No American citizen should ever be subjected to what Amir went through, and the government officials who were responsible for what happened should be held accountable,” said Jonathan Hafetz of the A.C.L.U., who represents Mr. Meshal.
