This CID investigation concerns an allegation of a face slap upon an Iraqi detainee held in custody between June 14th and 20th, 2003. The Iraqi alleges that during his interrogation an Egyptian interpreter slapped him with a sandal, punched him, and "mildly mistreated" him at a location called "Kilometer 22" while several Americans in civilian clothes stood by without intervening. This CID investigation was initiated when a review of an Interrogation report contained two (2) line detailing the alleged abuse. In the opinion of the CID investigators, there was insufficient evidence to prove or disprove the complaint; however, the investigation was subsequently re-opened on March 6, 2005, on the basis that the investigating officers had not made a sufficient effort to identify the "Kilometer 22" location, or to locate the detainee or the Egyptian interpreter. In the ensuing investigation, officials were unable to find individuals who could identify "kilometer 22", although they opined that it referred to either the "Blacksmith Hotel" location or to F.O.B. tiger; officials found and interviewed the Egyptian interpreter, although his statement is not included in the CID report. Officials were unsuccessful in finding the detainee. The investigation concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prove or disprove the allegation.
