Zubaydah in a sentence

As Abu Zubaydah spoke, Soufan and an FBI colleague showed him photos of terrorist suspects on a hand-held device to determine if they were all referring to the same people.

During questioning, Soufan asked Zubaydah to confirm the identity of a jihadi who had been indicted in connection with the 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in East Africa.

Joseph Margulies, who represented Zubaydah for more than a decade, tells the San Francisco Chronicle the ruling is a milestone.

Sure, the CIA told the Department of Justice, they told the White House that Abu Zubaydah again was third or fourth in Al Qaeda, knew of every terrorist plot, knew when the next attack was going to be and who the operators were in the United States.

There’s a point in time when Abu Zubaydah is incubated.

But it was the Zubaydah interrogation that became the center-piece of a national debate on torture.

ProPublica is retracting parts of its story that linked Gina Haspel, President Trump’s choice to lead the CIA, with the waterboarding of Abu Zubaydah, a suspected al-Qaida leader who was held at a secret “black site” prison in Thailand in 2002.

Abu Zubaydah said through his US lawyer that he would be donating the full €100,000 in damages to victims of torture.

As reported later, many of these interrogation techniques were previously considered illegal under U.S. and international law and treaties at the time of Zubaydah's capture.

At his Combatant Status Review Tribunal in 2007, Zubaydah said he was told that the CIA realized he was not significant.

Because of the urgency felt about the interrogation of Zubaydah, the CIA had consulted with the president about how to proceed.

By 1999, the United States government was attempting to surveil Zubaydah.

Capture On March 28, 2002, CIA and FBI agents, in conjunction with Pakistani intelligence services, raided several safe houses in Pakistan searching for Zubaydah.

Concerns In 2004 media coverage of Abu Zubaydah began listing him as a "disappeared" prisoner," claiming he had no access to the International Red Cross.

During the raid, Zubaydah was shot in the thigh, the testicle, and the stomach with rounds from an AK-47 assault rifle.

Ensuing interrogation The CIA subjected Zubaydah to various forms of increasingly harsh interrogation techniques, including temperature extremes, music played at debilitating volumes, and sexual humiliation.

Former APA president Joseph Matarazzo designed a new CIA interrogation regimen and supervised the torture of Abu Zubaydah at a secret CIA detention site in Thailand.

He described Zubaydah as keeping a diary "in the voice of three people: Hani 1, Hani 2, and Hani 3"—a boy, a young man and a middle-aged alter ego.

It was later reported that Zubaydah was denied painkillers during his interrogation.

On that occasion, although the on-scene interrogation team judged Zubaydah to be compliant, elements within CIA Headquarters still believed he was withholding information.
