In a developing story from the United States of America, a fabled literary figure is facing the uncertain prospect of a lengthy detention.

Legendary Belgian adventurer Tin Tin has been arrested and sent to Guantanamo Bay this morning Australian time.

The man who has been all around the world over the last couple of centuries was in the United States to enjoy Belgium's World Cup run and miracle comeback against Senegal - when the shock arrest happened.

It's believed the popular cartoon figure was going ballistic after Belgium scored a lovely opening goal against the United States in Seattle - when some ICE agents swooped in.

Dragged out of the stadium to the shock of the small amount of Belgian fans, it's alleged that the order for his arrest may have come directly from the President.

Tin Tin and his publisher have obviously been unavailable for contact, with the charges against ginger carton celebrity yet to be revealed.

It's believed an American win may increase Tin Tin's chances of being released from the detention centre - with hopes that a new book will be released in the afternoon.
