| ACLU-RDI 5139
CIA's copy of an autopsy report of Iraqi Major General Abed Mowhoush, who died in U.S. custody at the Al-Qaim detention facility in Iraq. The document states, "the details surrounding the circumstances at the time of death are classified." The "cause of death" is "asphyxia due to smothering and chest compression." Also found were rib fractures and numerous bruises due to impacts with blunt objects. The "manner of death" is classified as "homicide." The CIA released the first six and last two pages of the report as two separate documents. For purposes of the database, we have combined them. The CIA version of the autopsy report contains different redactions than the DOD version.
