Abu Zubaydah

Abu Zubaydah is the highest-ranking al-Qaida leader in U.S. custodyAbu
Zubaydah (12 March 1971 - present) (Arabic: ابو زبيدة) was a
high-ranking member of al-Qaida and close associate of Osama bin Laden.
He is currently in U.S. custody in an unknown location. Zubaydah's name
is often transliterated as Abu Zubaidah, Abu Zubeida, or Abu Zoubeida.
Born Zein al-Abideen Mohamed Hussein (Arabic: زين العابدين
Ù…Ø*مد Ø*سين), he is also known by over thirty-five aliases.

Born in Saudi Arabia, Zubaydah has been close to al-Qaida all his life,
helping to operate a popular terrorist training camp near the border
between Afghanistan and Pakistan in the early 1990s. He became an
associate of Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, and served as a chief recruiter for
al-Qaida.

In the late 1990s, Zubaydah played a lead role in one of the 2000
millennium attack plots, and a possible tangential role in a second.
There were plans to bomb a fully booked Radisson hotel in Amman,
Jordan, and three other sites. This targeted tourists from the United
States and Israel. But on November 30, 1999, Jordanian intelligence
intercepted a call between Zubaydah and Khadr Abu Hoshar, a Palestinian
militant, and determined that an attack was imminent. Jordanian police
arrested 22 conspirators and foiled the attack. Zubaydah was sentenced
to death in absentia by a Jordanian court for his role. There is also
evidence that Zubaydah approved the Los Angeles airport bomb plot in
2000. This plot was also foiled.

In March of 2001, United States Condoleezza Rice was informed by the
CIA that Zubaydah was planning a major operation in the near future.
This was one of the first of many reports in the Spring of 2001 that
increased the threat level and indicated that an attack was coming.
Many of these reports mentioned Zubaydah by name. The attack finally
came in the form of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The U.S. government believes he became al-Qaeda's top military
strategist following the death of Muhammad Atef in November 2001. A
later plot to bomb the U.S. embassy in Paris failed, as did an alleged
plot to attack a target in Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Zubaydah was
probably a conspirator in both of those plots.


References cited by the 9/11 Commission, showing that Zubaydah was
often the bulk of referencesU.S. intelligence located Zubaydah in 2002
by tracing his phone calls. He was captured March 28, 2002, in a two
story apartment in Faisalabad, Pakistan. He was shot three times in a
firefight, including a wound to the groin and a wound to the thigh, but
survived. While in U.S. custody, he has given a great deal of
information about the 9/11 attack plot, detail that led to the
indictments of over one hundred people, including Mohamed Harkat.
Critics however have claimed that several of the interrogations may
have bordered on torture to pressure Zubaydah into fingering other
suspects.
Zubaida is held within the CIA prison system, where many have claimed
that he is possibly subjected to torture. His statements under
interrogation have provided a very large amount of the information used
around the world as 'definitive', and he is the sole person to make
many of the claims.

Capture
Abu Zubaydah was captured in a safehouse in Pakistan. Several of the
detainees who face charges before military commissions were captured at
the same time as Abu Zubaydah. In the case of Abdul Zahir, being
captured at the same time as Abu Zubaydah is one of the factors in
favour of his continued detention.[1]

Is he being held in a secret CIA camp?


No...He is being detaineed for trial at Gitmo...Didn't they tell you
that?

He was being questioned by the CIA in order to prevent future attack on
the united states and other citizens of earth that they want to murder.
Since they have been out of the loop long enough they can no longer be
effective as murdering jihad phycos they can now be put on trial. This
is how war has always worked.. except the Japs just enjoyed killing
prisioners for kicks and social status.
