Remember the Al-Qaeda training manual located by the Manchester (England) Metropolitan Police during a search of an Al Qaeda member’s home which contained the lofty title “Declaration of Jihad Against the Country’s Tyrants”? It contained the following passage:
UK/BM-176 TO UK/BM-180
TRANSLATION Lesson Eighteen
PRISONS AND DETENTION CENTERSIF AN INDICTMENT IS ISSUED AND THE TRIAL, BEGINS, THE BROTHER HAS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:
1. At the beginning of the trial, once more the brothers must insist on proving that torture was inflicted on them by State Security [investigators] before the judge.
2. Complain [to the court] of mistreatment while in prison.
And now we have AP reporting:
A Muslim cleric formerly held at Guantanamo Bay prison said Tuesday that U.S. guards there regularly desecrated the Quran by putting it into a toilet, although he added he never witnessed it himself.
Airat Vakhitov, who described himself as a former imam of a mosque in Tatarstan, a majority Muslim republic in southern Russia, is one of seven men released from Guantanamo in 2004 and returned to Russia. He and the six others were held in Russia for three months, then released a year ago.
Vakhitov said at a news conference organized by the state RIA-Novosti news agency that guards in Cuba threw the Quran in the toilet. However, he later told The Associated Press he did not witness the actions.
Anybody but me think that Imam Vakhitov has read this training manual?
