		</div><p>Police and a mayor in Ohio have said they are “very sorry” after wrongfully arresting at gunpoint an Emirati man, who they accused of having links to IS.</p>
<p>In a small “peace meeting” broadcast by local media WEWS-TV, Avon’s chief of police Richard Bosley said to Ahmed al-Menhali, who was detained while wearing a traditional white ankle-length robe and headscarf: “To disrespect you was not the intent of the acts of any of our officers.</p>
<p>“It is a very regrettable circumstance that occurred for you. You should not have been put in that situation like you were.”</p>
<p>Avon’s law director John Gasior added that the city was “very sorry” for the incident.</p>
<p>Reports said police were called by the sister of a hotel clerk who said she had seen al-Menhali with “multiple phones” and heard him “pledging allegiance to IS.”</p>
<p>WEWS-TV tweeted a recording of the clerk’s sister’s call to 911:</p>
<p>Reporters add that officers soon realised the accusation was false.</p>
<p>But the extreme police response to the call prompted the United Arab Emirates to warn its citizens to avoid wearing traditional garments when travelling abroad.</p>
<p>The meeting, held at Cleveland’s Council on American-Islamic Relations, was organised by Avon mayor Brian Jensen, who also added his regrets over the arrest.</p>
