Egypt holds Swiss teacher over ‘terrorist name’

“A Swiss primary school teacher from the canton of Bern who went to Egypt for a holiday is being held there on suspicion of being a terrorist because of his name.  Rolf Künti, 29, went to the North African country with a colleague for a one-week holiday.  But on the day of his planned return to Switzerland he was detained on Monday at the Sharm el-Sheikh airport where he was told by customs he was banned from leaving, according to Swiss media.  ‘They told me that my name was that of a terrorist if you translate it into Arabic,’ Künti is quoted as saying by 20 Minuten, the online news site.”
