The released Algerian has been hospitalized

According to CNN, the Algerian released from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and taken to France has been hospitalized. Lakhdar Boumediene is at the Clamart military hospital, the station reported. Louisa Baghdadi, Boumediene's sister-in-law from Nice, told the station she and her husband "will be disappointed" if he's in poor shape. She said she "doesn't know how he has changed."

Boumediene, who is not a French citizen, was sent to France because he has relatives there. He arrived Friday. "France decided to take in Lakhdar Boumediene, who expressed the willingness to come to our country where members of his family reside," the French Foreign Ministry said.
