FBI Memo re: Interview of Detainee at Guantanamo Bay

Mar. 17, 2003 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 3433
Interview of detainee at Guantanamo. Detainee stated he was in generally good health, but had a sore throat, but he saw the doctor and was awaiting medication. Otherwise he was fine, but thought the food was like at the "zoo". The detainee was then shown photos of other detainees, some of whom he identified. The detainee then told agents that he heard that other detainees were going to commit the mass suicide (300; one per hour) but were waiting for a FATWA, or permission, from the religious leader of the camp to commit the act. Normally suicide would be a sin. The interview concluded with the detainee assuring agents he would be cooperative in providing any further information he could to prevent the mass suicide.
