<p>FBI Letterhead Memo (LHM) in response to DoD (CITF) (RFA)- FBI agents' interview of an unnamed detainee who recalls being at the Qala-e-Jangi prison facility during the prison uprising against US Forces. Identified several individuals in the Kadahar photo book during the interview, including Osama Bin Laden. The unnamed detainee remembers two American prisoners; and being threatened by US soldiers to not be allowed to leave if either of the prisoners spoke an unidentified (redacted) language. Also, recalls being afraid to speak because guards would severely beat anyone who spoke. Additionally, recalls being scared and being shot/wounded during the uprising.</p>
