July 1, 2003 | CID | ACLU-RDI 1409
CID report of investigation into the circumstances leading to a detainee entering a vegetative/comatose state. The report states that the detainee was apprehended on July 23, 2003 as a high priority target, and that he was detained in Kirkuk and later in Tikrit, Iraq. On August 11, 2003, he was transferred from the custody of US forces to a combat hospital in a vegetative state. The medical report lists his primary diagnosis as brain damage caused by lack of oxygen. Additionally, the report states he suffered a heart attack and heatstroke. He also had injuries to his head, cuts on his arm and burn marks on the bottom of his feet. The report cites New York Times and Standard News Net news articles about the victim, which report the detainee's name to be Sadiq Zoman and indicate that his injuries were a result of torture experienced in Tikrit.
