From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
American officials have reported that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had numerous bodyguards. They reported that the captives held in extrajudicial detention in it Guantanamo Bay detention camp included at least 30 of bin Laden's bodyguards.[1]
[edit] Sources of the allegations
One source of the allegations was Guantanamo captive Mohamed al-Kahtani.[1] Al Qahtani was believed to be one of the 20th hijackers. The DoD acknowledges he was subjected to "extended interrogation techniques, including two months of sleep-deprivation". After this, he is reported to have denounced 30 other Guantanamo captives as being bodyguards of Osama bin Laden.
