This memorandum provides a recommendation to transfer a detainee, ISN US9AF-000948DP, to the control of another country with conditions. The detainee is assessed as a probable arms smuggler with ties to the Taliban. He has changed his story during interrogations and provided information about Taliban members, activities, and weapons caches. The memorandum recommends he be transferred with conditions due to still being assessed as a medium risk and having intelligence value regarding weapons smuggling and the Taliban.
