b. (S) Property Held: None c. (S) Transferred to JTF-GTMO: 1 May 2002 d. (S//NF) Reasons for Transfer to JTF-GTMO: To provide information on the following: o Al-Qaida operations and personnel in Yemen associated with the bombing of the USS COLE o The Hajji Habash Guesthouse and Islamic Institute in Kandahar o Ayoub Muhammed Ali, an al-Qaida and Taliban recruiter and travel facilitator 6. (S//NF) Evaluation of Detainee's Account: Though detainee has provided some corroborated information, he has omitted key details of his associates and personal activities in support of al-Qaida. Reporting indicates detainee had more of a leadership role than detainee is willing to admit. Detainee continues to downplay his significance and affiliations with other alQaida members. Detainee denies ever attending a terrorist training camp, but his name is included on applications for terrorist training. Although detainee has provided unique information about his associates who were linked to the USS COLE attack, he denies any involvement, contrary to reporting from other sources. He sometimes has claimed he was born in Taiz, YM and other times in Mecca, SA, demonstrating his willingness to mislead US intelligence officials on even the most basic detail. 13 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 was a member of an Yemeni alQaida cell which was directly involved with the USS COLE attack Detainee attended advanced training in Afghanistan after recruitment by a known al-Qaida facilitator. If released without rehabilitation, close supervision, and means to successfully reintegrate into his society as a law abiding citizen, it is assessed detainee would immediately seek out prior associates and reengage in hostilities and extremist support activities. Since transfer to JTFGTMO, detainee has engaged in few hostile incidents and is relatively compliant with guard and multiple prison transfers, including the transfer to US forces on 5 January 2002, detainee's capture date was no later than mid-December 2001. 13 TD-314/00684-02, TRRS-04-01-0650
