Criminal Investigation Task Force Interview of Detainee who was captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan. The detainee knew members of the Jalallidin Haquanni Network that was fighting coalition forces. The detainee identified himself as the village Mullah, thus one would believe he possessed more knowledge than he wanted to diverge. He also asserted that when he was taken in to custody he was beaten by US forces.
