b. (S//NF)Reasonsfor GontinuedDetention:
o (S/A{F) Detaineeworked briefly (threeweeks)asa clerk underHaji Mullah Shariff
Adin. Initial reporting indicatedUS Forcessuspecteddetaineeof being an Iranian
intelligenceoperativeworking in Afghanistan.
o (S/NF) Haji Mullah Shariff Adin was identified asan employeeof Taliban
intelligence,working for TalibanIntelligenceChief QariHamid Ghul. Ghul and
Adin aremembersof a Heckmatyr Islami Gulbuddin (HIG) cell that met to plan
targetingof US personnelin Khandahar,AF. (Analyst note: HIG is a Tier I Target.
Tier 1 Targetsaredefinedasterrorist groups,especiallythosewith statesupport,that
havedemonstratedthe intention andthe capability to attackUS personsor interests.)
o (S/AIF) Detaineewas capturedwith two notebooks,which appearedto contain
numericalcodesknown to be usedby the Taliban for securecommunication.
. (S//lF) The interpreterduring the22 July 2002interview recognizedthe
code. He statedit wastaughtto him "by his father,many yearsago." This
notebookwas forwardedto NSA for further review in2002. Detainee
AssessmentBranchhasrequestedthroughthe NSA representativethe current
resultsof this review. (Analystnote: Possessionof anapparentcodebook
appa.rentlyled the initial debriefingteamin Bagramto believedetaineemay be an
Iranian intelligenceoperative. The interpreterat the time commentedthat
detaineespokewith an Iranian accent,which may havebeencausedby spending
nine anda half yearsin an Iranianprison.)
o (S/AfF) Detaineeappearedto be extremelyevasiveandpossiblyusing counter-
interrogationtechniquesduring early interrogationsby JTF-GTMO debriefers.
o (S/A{F)Basedon BehavioralScienceConsultationTeam(BSCT) information,
detaineeis currentlybeingtreatedfor DissociativeDisorder. DissociativeDisorderis
the failure to integrateone'smemories,perceptions,identity or consciousness
properly. Detaineecannotdistinguishbetweenreality andfantasy. His condition was
probably causedby deeppsychologicaltrauma,appea.rsto be worseningandhe is
refusingtreatment. (Analyst note: Detainee'spsychiatricproblemsmay havecaused
behaviorthat wasmisidentified ascounterinterrogationtechniquesduring early
interrogations.)
o (S/AJF)After searchingnational-levelcounter-terrorismdatabases,no new
reporting or documentationhasbeenfound to supportthe claims that detaineeis a
trained intelligenceoperativefrom Iran.
c. (S) Detainee's Conduct: Detainee'soverallbehaviorvariesfrom aggressiveto
incoherent,from threateningto friendly. Detaineehasbeendiagnosedwith Dissociate
Disorderby BSCT.
