		Mohamedou Slahi was not taken into custody in a zone of armed conflict, yet he has been labelled by the US administration as an "enemy combatant" to whom the "laws of war" apply and to whom human rights law does not.
		Mohamedou Slahi said he was "terrorized" by the threats of being subjected to the same, and has stated that "under so much pressure and bad treatment" he falsely confessed to being part of the millennium plot.
		Mohamedou Ould Slahi, branded by the report as a leading al-Qa’ida operative, was not among them, yet he had already been in US custody for two years by the time the report was issued on 22 July 2004.

		When Mohamedou Ould Slahi's name appeared on the list released last week of Guantanamo Bay detainees, the Pentagon was officially confirming that one of Al Qaeda's most mysterious figures had been in custody since late 2001.
		Slahi has maintained his innocence and said he's such a valuable intelligence asset that his captors should set him free to live in the United States — with the government providing security.
		Slahi is appealing his designation as an "enemy combatant." His name was among the detainees whose identities were released Wednesday under the Freedom of Information Act as having passed through the Combatant Status Review Tribunal process in 2004 and 2005.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Detainee said tied to millennium plot
		WASHINGTON — When Mohamedou Ould Slahi's name appeared on the list released last week of Guantánamo Bay detainees, the Pentagon was officially confirming that one of al-Qaida's most mysterious figures had been in custody since late 2001.
		But Slahi, who says he is innocent and should be allowed to live under protection in the U.S. because of his intelligence value, is not among the 10 or so suspected al-Qaida operatives at the military prison in Cuba who have been sent before military commissions for trial.
		The grounds on which Slahi is being held are contained in a federal court filing that says he has been a member of al-Qaida, that he traveled to Afghanistan to wage jihad, that he received weapons training there at an al-Qaida camp, and that his goal was to die as a martyr for Islam.

		Slahi, who is now being held in Guantanamo, may not have been exactly one of the 19 hijackers, but he was the next closest thing.

		El Motassadeq was freed after an appeals court in March 2004 overturned his sentence of 15-years for membership in a terrorist organization and on 3,066 counts of accessory to murder - reflecting the estimated Sept. 11 death toll at the time he was charged.
		Though most of the witnesses have been the same as in his previous trial, the U.S. this time provided the court with summaries of interrogations of three key captives, Binalshibh, suspected Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Mauritanian suspected of helping organize the Hamburg cell members' trips to Afghanistan.
		The defense has seized upon the reports as evidence el Motassadeq wasn't involved in the plot - Binalshibh told investigators he and the three suicide pilots alone comprised the Hamburg cell and all three said or implied the plot originated in Afghanistan.

		In a letter accompanying the Slahi and Binalshibh statements, Justice Department officials told German authorities that no more intelligence reports would be forthcoming for use in the Motassadeq trial.
		They said that U.S. federal prosecutors had filed a motion to give the Germans additional summaries of "statements made by enemy combatants," but that the request was rejected in April by Judge Leonie M. Brinkman of the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, who ruled that the disclosures could affect the sentencing phase of Moussaoui's trial.

		Couch, a prosecutor at Guantanamo, inadvertently witnessed other prisoners being tortured, but he was denied access to the man he was prosecuting, who suddenly began telling his captors what they wanted to hear after being subjected to the "varsity program." That's the nickname for the Special Interrogation Plan which then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld authorized.
		Aside from the beatings, water-boarding, stress positions and sexual degradation that have been the norm at Guantanamo, Slahi was taunted with details of his mother's incarceration and rape in an elaborate hoax by an officer who claimed to be representing the White House.
		Couch does not claim Slahi is innocent of all charges, but rather that the evidence is not believable because of the methods used to obtain it and the fact that it has not been independently corroborated.

		Moreover, since 1999, the FBI has been monitoring the Mauritanian national, Mohamedou Ould Slahi, whom Mauritania extradited to the United States in November 2002, where he is accused of having recruited two of the pilots who attacked New York and Washington on 11 September 2001.
		In this context, the observation by the Mauritanian thinker, Sheikh Mohamed Salem Ould Abdel Wedoud, is heartening: «The term Islamic Republic of Mauritania means just that, while the religious authorities in Nouakchott boast that this Mauritanian state is the first in the world to bear this name from birth».

		Rudolphi believes that terrorist instructions were dispatched back and forth through Slahi's guest book from cyber cafes making them tricky to track and decipher; a resourceful method of exchange.
		Authorities have found that the al-Qaeda terrorist network is not so loosely knit as once thought and actually turns out to be a highly structured network, as corroborated by authorities when they found units in specific European countries, each in charge of a particular task.

		The suspect: a Mauritanian named Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who lived in Germany through much of the l990s and is thought to have recruited Hamburg-based 9-11 pilots Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah to the hijacking plot, as well as other 9-11 plotters.
		Slahi was a member of the “Hamburg Cell,” says an official familiar with intelligence information on the case.
		Officials familiar with intelligence reports on Slahi say that he is believed to be close to, and possibly even the son-in-law of, a bin Laden lieutenant known as Abu Hafs, the Mauritanian who U.S. investigators say helped plot the 1998 suicide bombing attacks on American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.
