WARSAW—A prominent German politician is calling for the immediate return to Germany of a suspected Islamic militant and bodyguard of Osama bin Laden, after a court ruled the deportation illegal.

Wolfgang Kubicki, deputy leader of the liberal FDP party and vice president of the German parliament, told Deutschlandfunk on July 28 that Sami Aidoudi—referred to only as Sami A. in Germany due to privacy laws—should be retrieved from his native Tunisia “as soon as possible.”
