    Evaluation Of Detainee's Account: Detainee

    rovides

    imited information

    about his timeline.

    Detainee

    was not able to explain why he still had what he claimed was Al-

    Maki's cell

    phone

    number months

    after their alleged

    ast

    encounter.

    His

    claim that he had a

    roundtrip

    ticket to

    Pakistan,

    hat he filled out no forms, and that he was allowed to hold

    onto his

    personal

    effects s highly suspect

    given

    the Al-Qaida modus

    operandi as

    t relates

    o theseareas,

    and the

    fact

    that he is listed on the safety deposit box document. Detaineeclaimed he

    spent hree

    weeksat Al-Farouq

    and

    led in

    June2001

    n

    anticipationof coalitionbombings. Coalition

    bombingsdid not occuruntil October2001, aisingquestions boutdetainee's imeline.

    Detainee ailed

    to

    provide

    information about his activities

    at, and

    departure rom Tora Bora. It is

    also not clear

    whether

    detaineewas at Tora Bora and returned a second ime as Jalalabad ell. It

    is unclear why

    officials at Bagram believed detaineehad information related o Jaish-E-

    Mohammed

    (JEM).

    Detainee's actions contradict his

    claim

    that his father s dead. In2002

    detaineesent his father a letter stating he was in

    Cuba and

    would

    probably

    never

    see

    him
