4. (U) Detainees Account of Events:
The following section is based, unless otherwise indicated, on detainees own account.
These statements are included without consideration of veracity, accuracy, or reliability.
a. (S//NF) Prior History: Detainee completed high school and attended college from
1996-1999 at the Imam Mullammad Bin Abd al-Wahaab Alia al-Dawa University in Medina
where he studied Islamic law but did not earn a degree. Detainee comes from a wealthy and
well-educated family. 1
b. (S//NF) Recruitment and Travel: Detainees college instructor encouraged him to go
to Afghanistan (AF) to teach Islam. Detainee had never traveled outside of Saudi Arabia
until he left Medina for Afghanistan. Detainee departed Saudi Arabia and traveled to
Khowst, AF via a route that took him through Bahrain, Karachi, Pakistan (PK), Peshawar,
PK and Jalalabad, AF. 2
c. (S//NF) Training and Activities: Upon arrival in Khowst, detainee went to the market
and met an Egyptian named Abu Sulayman who took him to the Kabir Mosque and

Ahmad al-Dardir Musa Uwaydha, ISN US9SA-000059DP (SA-059, transferred), arrived
from a nearby village, where he was also teaching Islam. Around December 2001,
approximately two years after arriving in Afghanistan, detainee decided to return to Saudi
Arabia. Detainee and his nephew departed on foot for Pakistan with a guide, meeting and
joining another group of approximately 20 Arabs traveling to Pakistan. Detainee departed
Khowst with a $100 US bill and his passport, which he lost during the walk. 3
5. (U) Capture Information:
(S//NF) Detainee was captured by Pakistani forces on 15 December 2001 while attempting to
cross the Afghanistan-Pakistan border near Parachinar, PK after fleeing from UBLs Tora Bora
Mountain Complex. Detainee was captured with a group of 31 other Arab al-Qaida fighters
referred to by US intelligence reporting as the Dirty 30, most of who are assessed to be UBL
bodyguards and other members of UBLs security detail.4 Pakistani authorities transferred the
group to a prison facility in Peshawar where they were held for 15 days. 5 On 26 December
2001, Pakistani authorities transferred detainee from Peshawar to US custody at the Kandahar
Detention Facility, AF. 6

training, facilities, logistics and individuals involved
6. (S//NF) Evaluation of Detainees Account: Detainees reporting is not credible.
According to Muhammad Yahya Muhsin al-Zaylai, ISN US9SA-000055DP (SA-055,
transferred), the Pakistani warden of the prison where the Dirty 30 were first held instructed the
group to say they were in Afghanistan to teach the Koran and to study religion when they are
interrogated by US forces. 7 Majid Mahmud Abdu Ahmad, ISN US9YM-000041DP (YM-041),
also reported the Koran-teaching cover story was false. 8 Numerous al-Qaida members identified
detainee as a member of al-Qaida who also served as a bodyguard for UBL and was to
participate in a suicide operation. Detainee will require a long-term, dedicated plan to solicit
information of intelligence value.
7. (U) Detainee Threat:
a. (S) Assessment: Detainee is assessed to be a HIGH risk, as he is likely to pose a threat
to the US, its interests, and allies.
b. (S//NF) Reasons for Continued Detention: Detainee is a member of al-Qaida and a
former veteran UBL bodyguard. Detainee received specialized close combat training for his
role as a suicide operative in an aborted component of the 11 September 2001 al-Qaida
attacks. Detainee participated in hostilities against US and Coalition forces and was captured
with a group referred to as the Dirty 30, which included UBL bodyguards and an assessed
20th 11 September 2001 hijacker. Detainee received advanced training at multiple al-Qaida
camps and participated in armed hostilities against US and Coalition forces. Detainee also
has familial ties to UBL and has demonstrated his hatred for Americans at JTF-GTMO and
will likely reestablish ties to al-Qaida and other extremist elements if released.
(S//NF) Detainee is an al-Qaida member and a veteran UBL bodyguard.
(S//NF) Detainee appears in a January 2000 Tarnak Farm video in the company
of other UBL bodyguards. 9

was from Medina and went to Afghanistan at the end of 1998 where he joined UBLs
security detail in 1999. 11
(S//NF) Senior al-Qaida facilitator Sharqawi Abdu Ali al-Haji, aka (Riyadh the
Facilitator), ISN PK9YM-001457DP (YM-1457), photo-identified detainee as UBL
bodyguard Saqr al-Madani from Medina. YM-1457 stated detainee traveled to
Afghanistan sometime in 1997 and became a UBL bodyguard after 1998. Detainee
remained in that position between March 2000 and June 2001. Also, detainee was
somewhat close to Abu Basir al-Yemeni, UBLs personal secretary. 12
(S//NF) Al-Qaida operative Ahmad Khalfan Ghailani, aka (Haytham al-Kini),
ISN US9TZ-010012DP (TZ-10012), photo-identified detainee as a UBL bodyguard.
TZ-10012 met detainee in 2000-2001 when they worked together as bodyguards for
UBL. 13 Ghailani also stated he saw detainee in a group, along with Hamza alGhamdi and YM-10014, that accompanied UBL during a stay at the al-Faruq
Training Camp. 14
(S//NF) Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, ISN US9YM-010013DP (YM-10013), photoidentified detainee as a UBL bodyguard. 15
(S//NF) Sanad Ali Yislam al-Kazimi, ISN US9YM-1453DP (YM-1453), a
bodyguard who admitted swearing bayat (an oath) to UBL, photo-identified detainee
as Saqr al-Madani and first saw detainee when he went to obtain a position as a UBL
bodyguard. YM-1453 claimed detainee was already a bodyguard in July or August
2000. YM-1453 also stated detainee was involved in an operation and that detainee
was on a tape preparing for the operation. 16 (Analyst Note: YM-1453s comments
may be related to the 11 September 2001 Southeast Asia operation. No other
information is available on the tape, but it is possible this is a reference to a
martyrdom video tape, often created prior to a suicide operation.)
(S//NF) YM-10014 stated detainee was ready to be a martyr in the Southeast
Asian hijacking plan. 17
(S//NF) YM-1453 stated bodyguards functioned as though they were
brainwashed due to their constant proximity to UBL. They were constantly
exposed to UBLs message and beliefs. Bodyguards became little versions of
UBL, similar to disciples. 18 (Analyst Note: This statement lends credence to the

personnel. See also TD-314/36120-03 and Bodyguard Profile INTSUM 23-OCT-2006.

assessment that the operation noted in the above bullet was to be a martyrdom
operation. It also indicates the continuing high threat detainee poses.)
(S//NF) Salim Ahmad Salim Hamdan, ISN US9YM-000149DP (YM-149),
UBLs driver, knew detainee as Saqr, a UBL security guard. YM-149 saw detainee
in Kabul and Jalalabad with UBL between October and November 2001. 19
(S//NF) Ahmad Muhammad Haza al-Darbi, ISN US9SA-000768DP (SA-768),
photo-identified detainee as a UBL bodyguard. Detainee was normally armed with
an AK-47, two grenades and possibly a pistol. 20
(S//NF) Muhammad Mani Ahmad al-Shalan al-Qahtani, ISN US9SA-000063DP
(SA-063), the assessed 20th hijacker in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack,
identified detainee as a UBL bodyguard. SA-063 noted detainee was always at
UBLs side. SA-063 saw detainee at UBLs house and the guesthouse in Kandahar. 21
(S//NF) Detainee was a designated suicide operative. Detainee trained for an aborted
al-Qaida operation in Southeast Asia to hijack US airliners and crash them into US
military facilities in Asia in coordination with 11 September 2001.
(S//NF) In 1999, detainee and several other al-Qaida members were designated as
suicide operatives in a plot to hijack US air carriers traveling across Southeast Asia
and destroy them in midair. These attacks were originally intended to occur
simultaneously with those in the US on 11 September 2001. UBL later canceled the
operation due to the difficulty involved in synchronizing the attacks. 22
(S//NF) According to YM-10014, UBL planned to use Yemenis and Saudis
who could not obtain a US visa for the Asian portion of the plot because they
could easily travel to Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines,
and South Korea. 23 YM-10014 stated each of the operatives selected for the
operation, swore bayat to UBL. 24
(S//NF) YM-10014 reported two months before 11 September 2001, KU-10024,
took several UBL bodyguards including detainee; Muhammad Ahmad Abdallah alAnsi, ISN US9YM-000029DP (YM-029); Abd al-Malak Abd al-Wahab al-Rahbi,
ISN US9YM-000037DP (YM-037); and Zuhail Abdo Anam Said al-Sharabi, ISN
US9YM-000569DP (YM-569) to Karachi to teach them English and American
behaviors in preparation for the hijacking operation. 25
(S//NF) According to the Israeli Directorate of Military Intelligence, in 1999,
after receiving permission from UBL, KU-10024 established a special training

program in Karachi to prepare for 11 September 2001 style terrorist attacks.
Detainee is listed as one of the operatives taking part in this training. 26
(S//NF) YM-1457 corroborated detainee's placement in this group when he
speculated detainee and two of his fellow trainees, YM-029 and YM-037, may have
been at a special operational meeting with KU-10024, in Karachi. YM-1457
recounted meeting with detainee and YM-037 in a restaurant in Karachi in July 2001.
Detainee and YM-037 were both clean shaven and told YM-1457 that they had a job
to do at the al-Qaida media center, which was operated by KU-10024. 27
(S//NF) KU-10024 reported he sent detainee to Southeast Asia to support alQaida operative Riduan Bin Isomuddins, aka (Hambali), ISN US9ID-010019DP (ID10019), Singapore program. 28
(S//NF) Detainee received advanced al-Qaida training in addition to that already
noted.
(S//NF) TZ-10012 first saw detainee in 1998 at the Khowst al-Faruq Training
Camp. 29 TZ-10012 stated he believed detainee underwent guerilla warfare training at
al-Faruq. 30 (Analyst Note: In 1998, the Khowst al-Faruq Training Camp was alQaidas basic training camp.)
(S//NF) Detainee attended an elite commando course run by al-Qaida operative
Salah al-Din Abd al-Halim Zaydan aka (Sayf al-Adl) at the Mes Aynak Training
Camp in 1999. This course was offered to select trainees who had already received
al-Qaidas basic training. 31
(S//NF) YM-10014 remarked several proposed hijackers for the Southeast
Asian portion of the 11 September 2001 operation attended the close combat
course. 32 (The close combat course mentioned by YM-10014 is assessed to be the
commando course detainee attended under al-Adl.)
(S//NF) YM-1457 reported detainee also received training at Khaldan Training
Camp. 33
(S//NF) Detainee was in the company of UBL and his bodyguards in UBLs Tora
Bora Mountain Complex and participated in hostilities against US and Coalition forces.
(S//NF) YM-10014 and YM-1453 both reported that detainee was with UBL in
the Tora Bora Mountain Complex. 34

(S//NF) Yasin Muhammad Salih Mazeeb Basardah, ISN US9YM-000252DP
(YM-252), stated he saw detainee, an al-Qaida trained fighter and UBL bodyguard, in
Tora Bora. Detainee and the other bodyguards were preparing for UBLs arrival.
Their activities included preparing tunnels, setting up security and moving stockpiled
food. YM-252 noted after UBLs arrival, detainee was with UBL at all times. 35 YM252 also stated detainee carried a 7.62mm PK machine gun in the mountains. 36
(S//NF) YM-252 stated if you were in Tora Bora, you were not innocent.
You were there to fight. 37 (Analyst Note: Given detainees position as a UBL
bodyguard and the circumstances of detainees capture, it is assessed that detainee
was at UBLs Tora Bora Mountain Complex participating in hostilities there.)
(S//NF) Detainee was captured after fleeing from hostilities at UBLs Tora Bora
Mountain Complex along with the other members of the Dirty 30. 38
(S//NF) SA-063, who also traveled and was captured with the group, stated
they were the first to leave UBLs Tora Bora Mountain Complex and traveled to
Pakistan after UBL left them. 39
(S//NF) SA-768 photo-identified detainee and stated he fought on the front lines
against the Northern Alliance with Arsalan. 40 (Analyst Note: Arsalan is assessed to
be Muaz Hamza Ahmad al-Alawi, aka (Arslan), ISN US9YM-000028DP.) 41
(S//NF) SA-768 reported detainee was at al-Faruq Training Camp when it was
bombed by US and Coalition forces. Detainee was seriously wounded in the back
and shoulder by shrapnel from the bombing, and later recuperated at a hospital in
Khowst. 42 (Analyst note: The US bombed al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan following
the attacks on the US embassies in East Africa in 1998.)
(S//NF) A small scar was observed on detainee's left arm that detainee
explained he received in a car accident when he was 17. Detainee also has scars
on his back and head he claims are from the same accident. 43 (Analyst Note:
These are likely scars from the reported injuries sustained during US bombing of
al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan following the attacks on the US embassies in East
Africa in 1998.)
(S//NF) Detainee is related to two UBL bodyguards, one of whom is married to

(S//NF) YM-1457 stated detainee is related to Aws al-Madani, who was married
to one of UBLs daughters and was a UBL bodyguard. 44
(S//NF) According to reporting from al-Qaida operative Abd al-Rahim
Hussayn Muhammad al-Nashiri, ISN US9SA-010015DP (SA-10015), and YM1453, UBLs son-in-law Aws al-Madani was one of five permanent members of
UBLs security detail until al-Madani was killed by US bombing in late 2001. 45
(S//NF) YM-1457 stated detainees nephew, SA-059, traveled to Afghanistan in
1998 and served as a UBL bodyguard. YM-1457 added that SA-059 was close to
UBL. 46 TZ-10012 also identified SA-059 as detainees nephew. 47
(S//NF) SA-059 confirmed detainee is his uncle. 48
(S//NF) DNA tests were performed on detainee and SA-059 to determine the
likelihood of an uncle/nephew relationship. Based on autosomal DNA testing, the
two are likely to be close biological relatives, and they both possess Y
chromosome DNA that is consistent with a shared paternal lineage. 49
(S//NF) Detainees alias was found on a letter recovered at the al-Qaida Tarnak
Farm Training Camp. Detainee was noted as a contact from whom the addressee of the
letter should obtain $4,000 US. 50
(S//NF) Detainee is on the Saudi government watch list for terrorist-related
activity. 51
(S//NF) On 15 January 2007, detainee said he is going to kill [people] in Iraq.
Detainee also stated, Go to Iraq [and] I will kill you there. 52 (Analyst Note:
Detainees comments are assessed to be directed against the guard staff.)
c. (S//NF) Detainees Conduct: Detainee is assessed as a High threat from a detention
perspective. His overall behavior has been mostly non-compliant and hostile to the guard
force and staff. He currently has 95 Reports of Disciplinary Infraction listed in DIMS with
the most recent occurring on 27 February 2008, when he was reported spitting on the guard
force. Detainee has 11 Reports of Disciplinary Infraction for assault with the most recent

assaults, provoking words and gestures, and possession of food and non-weapon type
contraband. On 7 August 2005, detainee was reported to be in possession of broken glass
(shank). In 2007, detainee had a total of 17 Reports of Disciplinary Infraction and one so far
in 2008.
8. (U) Detainee Intelligence Value Assessment:
a. (S) Assessment: Detainee is assessed to be of HIGH intelligence value. Detainees
most recent interrogation session occurred on 19 October 2007.
b. (S//NF) Placement and Access: Detainee received basic and advanced training at
several al-Qaida affiliated training camps and participated in a special course designed to
train him for an attack that was to occur in coordination with the other 11 September 2001
attacks. Detainee is recognized as a former UBL bodyguard and fighter in Afghanistan.
Detainee has ties to senior al-Qaida leadership. Detainee was also identified as having been
constantly with UBL in his Tora Bora Mountain Complex and Kandahar.
c. (S//NF) Intelligence Assessment: As a member of al-Qaida since at least 1999,
detainee should be able to provide information on members with whom he associated to
include senior personnel including those who remain at large. In particular, he may be able
to provided information leading to the arrest of the remaining member of the cancelled
Southeast Asia 11 September 2001 plot. Detainee can provide information on other JTFGTMO detainees involved with al-Qaida and with UBL in particular. Detainee is assessed to
have abundant knowledge concerning high-level al-Qaida members and other operations.
Detainee was involved in special training and can probably provide profiling information to
better aid the US in recognizing al-Qaida members.
d. (S//NF) Areas of Potential Exploitation:
Information on Yusif Dakhil network
Al-Qaida training camps and courses, members, missions and logistics, including
UBL's security detail members, duties and communications
Operational planning and support to al-Qaida and senior operatives regarding 11
September 2001 attacks
Other extremists and radical Islamists affiliated with al-Qaida and its global terrorist
network
