Detainee also has familial ties to UBL and has demonstrated his hatred for Americans at JTF-GTMO and will likely reestablish ties to al-Qaida and other extremist elements if released. [ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DETAINEE IS AVAILABLE IN AN SCI SUPPLEMENT.] JTF-GTMO determined this detainee to be:

Ahmad al-Dardir Musa Uwaydha, ISN US9SA-000059DP (SA-059, transferred), arrived from a nearby village, where he was also teaching Islam. Around December 2001, approximately two years after arriving in Afghanistan, detainee decided to return to Saudi Arabia. Detainee and his nephew departed on foot for Pakistan with a guide, meeting and joining another group of approximately 20 Arabs traveling to Pakistan. Detainee departed Khowst with a $100 US bill and his passport, which he lost during the walk.3

5. (U) Capture Information: (S//NF) Detainee was captured by Pakistani forces on 15 December 2001 while attempting to cross the Afghanistan-Pakistan border near Parachinar, PK after fleeing from UBLs Tora Bora Mountain Complex. Detainee was captured with a group of 31 other Arab al-Qaida fighters referred to by US intelligence reporting as the Dirty 30, most of who are assessed to be UBL bodyguards and other members of UBLs security detail.4 Pakistani authorities transferred the group to a prison facility in Peshawar where they were held for 15 days.5 On 26 December 2001, Pakistani authorities transferred detainee from Peshawar to US custody at the Kandahar Detention Facility, AF.6

x Provide specific information concerning Khaldan Camp including information on training, facilities, logistics and individuals involved

6. (S//NF) Evaluation of Detainees Account: Detainees reporting is not credible. According to Muhammad Yahya Muhsin al-Zaylai, ISN US9SA-000055DP (SA-055, transferred), the Pakistani warden of the prison where the Dirty 30 were first held instructed the group to say they were in Afghanistan to teach the Koran and to study religion when they are interrogated by US forces.7 Majid Mahmud Abdu Ahmad, ISN US9YM-000041DP (YM-041), also reported the Koran-teaching cover story was false.8 Numerous al-Qaida members identified detainee as a member of al-Qaida who also served as a bodyguard for UBL and was to participate in a suicide operation. Detainee will require a long-term, dedicated plan to solicit information of intelligence value. 7. (U) Detainee Threat:

a. (S) Assessment: Detainee is assessed to be a HIGH risk, as he is likely to pose a threat to the US, its interests, and allies.

b. (S//NF) Reasons for Continued Detention: Detainee is a member of al-Qaida and a former veteran UBL bodyguard. Detainee received specialized close combat training for his role as a suicide operative in an aborted component of the 11 September 2001 al-Qaida attacks. Detainee participated in hostilities against US and Coalition forces and was captured with a group referred to as the Dirty 30, which included UBL bodyguards and an assessed 20th 11 September 2001 hijacker. Detainee received advanced training at multiple al-Qaida camps and participated in armed hostilities against US and Coalition forces. Detainee also has familial ties to UBL and has demonstrated his hatred for Americans at JTF-GTMO and will likely reestablish ties to al-Qaida and other extremist elements if released.

YM-1457 stated detainee traveled to Afghanistan sometime in 1997 and became a UBL bodyguard after 1998. Detainee remained in that position between March 2000 and June 2001. Also, detainee was somewhat close to Abu Basir al-Yemeni, UBLs personal secretary.12 (S//NF) Al-Qaida operative Ahmad Khalfan Ghailani, aka (Haytham al-Kini), ISN US9TZ-010012DP (TZ-10012), photo-identified detainee as a UBL bodyguard. TZ-10012 met detainee in 2000-2001 when they worked together as bodyguards for UBL.13 Ghailani also stated he saw detainee in a group, along with Hamza al-Ghamdi and YM-10014, that accompanied UBL during a stay at the al-Faruq Training Camp.14 (S//NF) Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, ISN US9YM-010013DP (YM-10013), photo-identified detainee as a UBL bodyguard.15 (S//NF) Sanad Ali Yislam al-Kazimi, ISN US9YM-1453DP (YM-1453), a bodyguard who admitted swearing bayat (an oath) to UBL, photo-identified detainee as Saqr al-Madani and first saw detainee when he went to obtain a position as a UBL bodyguard. YM-1453 claimed detainee was already a bodyguard in July or August 2000. YM-1453 also stated detainee was involved in an operation and that detainee was on a tape preparing for the operation.16 (Analyst Note: YM-1453s comments may be related to the 11 September 2001 Southeast Asia operation. No other information is available on the tape, but it is possible this is a reference to a martyrdom video tape, often created prior to a suicide operation.)

(S//NF) YM-10014 stated detainee was ready to be a martyr in the Southeast Asian hijacking plan.17 (S//NF) YM-1453 stated bodyguards functioned as though they were brainwashed due to their constant proximity to UBL. They were constantly exposed to UBLs message and beliefs. Bodyguards became little versions of UBL, similar to disciples.18 (Analyst Note: This statement lends credence to the

assessment that the operation noted in the above bullet was to be a martyrdom operation. It also indicates the continuing high threat detainee poses.)

(S//NF) Salim Ahmad Salim Hamdan, ISN US9YM-000149DP (YM-149), UBLs driver, knew detainee as Saqr, a UBL security guard. YM-149 saw detainee in Kabul and Jalalabad with UBL between October and November 2001.19 (S//NF) Ahmad Muhammad Haza al-Darbi, ISN US9SA-000768DP (SA-768), photo-identified detainee as a UBL bodyguard. Detainee was normally armed with an AK-47, two grenades and possibly a pistol.20 (S//NF) Muhammad Mani Ahmad al-Shalan al-Qahtani, ISN US9SA-000063DP (SA-063), the assessed 20th hijacker in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack, identified detainee as a UBL bodyguard. SA-063 noted detainee was always at UBLs side. SA-063 saw detainee at UBLs house and the guesthouse in Kandahar.21

x (S//NF) Detainee was a designated suicide operative. Detainee trained for an aborted al-Qaida operation in Southeast Asia to hijack US airliners and crash them into US military facilities in Asia in coordination with 11 September 2001.

(S//NF) In 1999, detainee and several other al-Qaida members were designated as suicide operatives in a plot to hijack US air carriers traveling across Southeast Asia and destroy them in midair. These attacks were originally intended to occur simultaneously with those in the US on 11 September 2001. UBL later canceled the operation due to the difficulty involved in synchronizing the attacks.22

(S//NF) According to YM-10014, UBL planned to use Yemenis and Saudis who could not obtain a US visa for the Asian portion of the plot because they could easily travel to Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and South Korea.23 YM-10014 stated each of the operatives selected for the operation, swore bayat to UBL.24

(S//NF) YM-10014 reported two months before 11 September 2001, KU-10024, took several UBL bodyguards including detainee; Muhammad Ahmad Abdallah al-Ansi, ISN US9YM-000029DP (YM-029); Abd al-Malak Abd al-Wahab al-Rahbi, ISN US9YM-000037DP (YM-037); and Zuhail Abdo Anam Said al-Sharabi, ISN US9YM-000569DP (YM-569) to Karachi to teach them English and American behaviors in preparation for the hijacking operation.25

program in Karachi to prepare for 11 September 2001 style terrorist attacks. Detainee is listed as one of the operatives taking part in this training.26

(S//NF) YM-1457 corroborated detainee's placement in this group when he speculated detainee and two of his fellow trainees, YM-029 and YM-037, may have been at a special operational meeting with KU-10024, in Karachi. YM-1457 recounted meeting with detainee and YM-037 in a restaurant in Karachi in July 2001. Detainee and YM-037 were both clean shaven and told YM-1457 that they had a job to do at the al-Qaida media center, which was operated by KU-10024.27 (S//NF) KU-10024 reported he sent detainee to Southeast Asia to support al-Qaida operative Riduan Bin Isomuddins, aka (Hambali), ISN US9ID-010019DP (ID-10019), Singapore program.28

x (S//NF) Detainee received advanced al-Qaida training in addition to that already noted.

(S//NF) TZ-10012 first saw detainee in 1998 at the Khowst al-Faruq Training Camp.29 TZ-10012 stated he believed detainee underwent guerilla warfare training at al-Faruq.30 (Analyst Note: In 1998, the Khowst al-Faruq Training Camp was al-Qaidas basic training camp.) (S//NF) Detainee attended an elite commando course run by al-Qaida operative Salah al-Din Abd al-Halim Zaydan aka (Sayf al-Adl) at the Mes Aynak Training Camp in 1999. This course was offered to select trainees who had already received al-Qaidas basic training.31

(S//NF) YM-10014 remarked several proposed hijackers for the Southeast Asian portion of the 11 September 2001 operation attended the close combat course.32 (The close combat course mentioned by YM-10014 is assessed to be the commando course detainee attended under al-Adl.)

(S//NF) YM-1457 reported detainee also received training at Khaldan Training Camp.33

x (S//NF) Detainee was in the company of UBL and his bodyguards in UBLs Tora Bora Mountain Complex and participated in hostilities against US and Coalition forces.

YM-252 noted after UBLs arrival, detainee was with UBL at all times.35 YM-252 also stated detainee carried a 7.62mm PK machine gun in the mountains.36

(S//NF) YM-252 stated if you were in Tora Bora, you were not innocent. You were there to fight.37 (Analyst Note: Given detainees position as a UBL bodyguard and the circumstances of detainees capture, it is assessed that detainee was at UBLs Tora Bora Mountain Complex participating in hostilities there.)

(S//NF) Detainee was captured after fleeing from hostilities at UBLs Tora Bora Mountain Complex along with the other members of the Dirty 30.38

(S//NF) SA-063, who also traveled and was captured with the group, stated they were the first to leave UBLs Tora Bora Mountain Complex and traveled to Pakistan after UBL left them.39

Detainee was seriously wounded in the back and shoulder by shrapnel from the bombing, and later recuperated at a hospital in Khowst.42 (Analyst note: The US bombed al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan following the attacks on the US embassies in East Africa in 1998.)

(S//NF) A small scar was observed on detainee's left arm that detainee explained he received in a car accident when he was 17. Detainee also has scars on his back and head he claims are from the same accident.43 (Analyst Note: These are likely scars from the reported injuries sustained during US bombing of al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan following the attacks on the US embassies in East Africa in 1998.)

x (S//NF) Detainee is related to two UBL bodyguards, one of whom is married to UBLs daughter.

(S//NF) SA-059 confirmed detainee is his uncle.48 (S//NF) DNA tests were performed on detainee and SA-059 to determine the likelihood of an uncle/nephew relationship. Based on autosomal DNA testing, the two are likely to be close biological relatives, and they both possess Y chromosome DNA that is consistent with a shared paternal lineage.49

Detainee was also identified as having been constantly with UBL in his Tora Bora Mountain Complex and Kandahar.

c. (S//NF) Intelligence Assessment: As a member of al-Qaida since at least 1999, detainee should be able to provide information on members with whom he associated to include senior personnel including those who remain at large.
