CID Report: 0189-04-CID259-80233

July 20, 2004 | CID | ACLU-RDI 17

A CID report concerning a detainee's allegation that a U.S. soldier repeatedly punched him in the stomach and that Kurds kicked him in the legs during interrogation in custody at the Baghdad International Airport. The detainee also stated that his eyes were covered with blackout goggles but that the goggles were removed during interrogation and when he went to the bathroom. The file indicates that the detainee was under interrogation by a member of the Army's 5th Special Forces Group, 2nd Battallion, and was detained and interrogated in a facility at Radwaniya Palace Complex at the Baghdad Airport. The facility was operated by the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force - Arabian Peninsula. Investigation concluded that the detainee's allegation was unfounded because he provided a written statement that did not reflect the same details as originally reported and the personnel who attended the interrogation denied any abuse took place.
