Nibras guest house

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nibras guest house is one of the many al Qaida guest houses, or al Qaida safe houses, or other houses that American intelligence analysts assert are part of the justifications offered for the continued extrajudicial detention of captives held in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba.

The Nibras guest house is not the only house to be specified, by name. It is particularly notable because, unlike all the suspicious houses, that American intelligence analysts assert are tied to al Qaeda, the Nibras guest house is said to be owned, personally, by Osama bin Laden.
