Interview of a detainee at Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay. The detainee made some general complaints about how the guards at the Camp treated the Koran (Qu'ran), but did not specify other than saying some gaurds had thrown it on the floor. The detainee had initially denied fighting in Afghanistan, but when confronted with statements from other detainees who apparently saw him fighting on the front lines of the battle, he said he may have been at the front lines and not realized it, since he "did not know where the front line was". He then said given all that has happened between the United States and other counties, he would take part in sn operation to kill Americans if he were asked to do so. He said according to the rules of Islam, suicide is not allowed, so he would not do a suicide artack. But, if he were in a combat situation, he would attack Americans to defend his coun and/or family. When asked whether or not he thought the September 11, [2001] attacks against the Twin Towers were justified, he said his religion is against suicide attacks or killing innocent people.
