Summarized Detainee Statement
The Detainee made no initial statement but indicated that he would answer any questions asked.
Answers in response to questions by the Personal Representative:
I am not a member of the Taliban and did not participate in the jihad in Afghanistan. I did attend training camps and at one learned to shoot a Kalishnakov rifle . Then I got sick and received medical treatment at the camp . I learned to fire a weapon to defend myself, my brother, and my father. I doesn' t have any enemies, but everyone is fighting with each other over there (in Pakistan). I did not attend the camp to learn how to fire the weapon for the purpose of committing or assisting in future hostile acts against the United States or its allies in the war on terrorism . I attended another camp to please and worship Allah and to tell people to follow the Quran, do their duties , and not to fight against each other. I do not own a rifle . I went to Afghanistan from Pakistan to serve . I was making beds and giving food and water to the Pakistanis there . I did not fight against anyone. Later an airplane came and there was a big light and people were dying. Then we started heading back toward our homes in Pakistan. We were captured by some "English People" and were handcuffed . Then I was put in jail. I did not firea weapon at any time against the U . S. or its allies.
