This investigative report was generated by the Criminal Investigative Task Force (CITF) Report of Investigative Activity and the interview of the detainee at Camp Delta was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Navy Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). The detainee says he is innocent of all charges of being part of Al Queda. He states he was never in Afghanistan and was picked up in Pakistan after losing his passport (which was acquired by bribery and with false information) and that the only reason he was in Pakistan was to attend school, but he did not attend school once there. Instead he traveled around with two (2) men “teaching and reading the Koran in various mosques” then he was captured. He states he knows nothing about the September 11, 2001 attacks or about terrorism.
