Report of investigation into a shooting at Abu Ghraib prison on November 24, 2003. Ameed Sa'eed Al-Sheikh, a.k.a. Ameen Mohammed Sami Al-Sheikh, a Syrian national, had acquired a pistol and two knives that had been smuggled to him by an outside individual. According to the investigation, a confidential informant (CI) who was also detained at the prison, stated that he had been approached by Al-Sheikh and was offered the opportunity to escape. The CI informed military intelligence officers of the weapons and the escape plan. LTC Jordan proceeded to search Al-Sheikh’s cell in order to confiscate any weapons found. When LTC Jordan arrived at the cell with SFC Snider, SSG Frederick, SSG Elliot, and SGT Cathcart, Al-Sheikh pulled an automatic pistol from under his pillow and fired repeatedly through the cell door bars at the search team. Al-Sheikh was shot by SSG Elliot, allowing the scene to be secured. Al-Sheikh's wounds were treated by medical personnel.

I, Ameed Sa'eed AL-SHEIKH, want to make the following Statement under oath:
In the name of Allah, the merciful:

I was statndin by the window. I saw a young man who asked me, "Where are you from?" I told him I was Syrian. He asked me if I wanted him to call my family. I said, "Yes," and gave him the phone number. He called my family and he asked me if I wanted to get out of prison? I told him, "Yes." Cause in prison I'm under a lot of stresses and all the interrogators say, "I will never get out." He told me he will bring me a pistol when I find suitable time I should escape. Then the next day I should go to a restaurant in Fallujah at 10 o'clock in the morning. After 2-3 days he came back and told me he got me a gun and 2 knives and he will stop by after midnight and give them to me. And, I should have a rope ready by then. H came back at night and told me to throw the rope from the window, which I did. He tied the pistol and the knives to the rope and I pulled it up. Then they young man, gone. He was a young Iraqi man, dark skin, about 25 years old. After I pulled the gun up, I concealed it. Next night at about 9-10 o'clock I found the guards telling me, "Put your hands outside the cell because we need to search your cell because someone told us you have a weapon!" I told someone in prison that I have a pistol and if he wants to escape with me. And he said, "Yes." I asked the guards, "Who told you I have a pistol?" They screamed at me and saying, "We will kill you!" I took the gun out from underneath the pillow while I was talking to them. Then one of them started to shoot my chest. When I saw blood coming out of my chest, I thought I will die. I told them, "You killed me!" He said, "No!" But I didn't believe him because there was blood coming out of my chest by my heart. So I started to shoot.
And I got hit by several bullets in my legs, my chest, my back. Then I felt dizzy and felt lm dying or I'm
to
loosing consciousness. I told the guards. So they said, "Put your hands outside your cell." So I crawled he floor and put my hands out. Some doctors treated my wounds and they transferred me to the hospital.

.
On 24 November 2003, about 1730 hours local time SFC an interrogation. Before sending a Tiger Team I wanted to go and assess the situation to be able to give better
.S7 1
guidance to my Team. At about 1800 hours SSG and I went to the hard site to check in with the MPs on duty and in the hallway we ran into SSG Fredrick. I asked him for about the interrogation that they requested and he told me that at this time we couldn't conduct an interrogation, because they had a situation on their hands. I asked him if he needed any help and he told me that they could use the extra bodies and also told me that he had weapons we could use. All three of us went down to the isolation block, at that time there ,i7 6 VI were some MPs and LTC Jordan already at the site and were concentrating on one cell. SSG .and
assisted one of the MPs in securing all the detainees on the opposite site, the MP was cuffing the etainees 3to the cells, SSGigiraliwas interpreting for him and I was providing security with a shotgun. During the entire time MPs were shouting at one of the detainees in the cellblock and he was shouting back, I was concentrating on the detainees that we were securing, so I was not paying attention to what they were shouting about. When I first came in the MPs were shouting at the same detainee to put his hands out of the cell so they can secure him. We had about four more cells left to secure before the first couple of shots were fired and since were where right across the problem cell we all ducked and started running towards the center of the cell block. During this time shots were fired into the cell and out of the cell and one of the MPs came to me and took the second shotgun and started firing into the cell. I don't know if the shotguns ran out of ammo, but the detainee continued shooting and one of the MPs pulled his 9mm at started firing into the cell. Once the detainee ran out of ammo he yelled out something and threw away his weapon, I was further down so I couldn't hear what he yelled but all the shooting stopped and the detainee was secured. The MPs pulled the detainee out of the cell and searched it, they recovered two knives hidden in two MRE main course/accessory boxes. Once the MPs cleared the cell, the medics began first aid on the detainee; I went and asked if they needed a MEDEVAC and what category, medics told me he was an urgent patient. At that time I went to the
320th MP TOC and re nested a MEDEVAC.

At approximately 1800 hours on 24 November 2003, SS.and I were asked to respond to a call over at the Isolation Cells because a prisoner wanted to talk to an MI representative. The both of us decided to go over there to assess the situation and see where to go afterwards. We first stopped off at the MP office over on Wing #4 to find out what was going on. Once we arrived we spoke with SSG Frederick and he told us that the prisoner had already been spoken with and that they had another situation on their hands. We asked him if there was anything we could do and he asked us if we could shoot, to which we replied yes. I then told him

there as well as some MPs. Once we went upstairs to the second floor of Isolation, I saw that they had already

an MP SFC went over to secure the prisoners on the right. The three of us were making our way down the
right hand side of the cells when I noticed that there were some MPs over on the other side towards the end of
the row yelling at a prisoner to put his hands where they could see them. I couldn't see the prisoner but could
tell that he was not complying because the MPs were yelling at him again to put his hands where they could
see them. As we made it down almost opposite of the cell where they were having problems, I heard an MP

hear an MP call for the medics in order to take care of the prisoner because he had been shot. Once the

medics arrived, they pulled the prisoner out of his cell and I went over to translate for them. The prisoner was
conscious, but did not respond to any of my questions.
