Military Police Report Death of Detainee in Custody (0114-02-CID369-23525)

May 25, 2003 | CID | ACLU-RDI 163
This Military Police Investigative Report is based on the death of a detainee while in custody during “Operation Stronghold”. The allegations concern the shooting death of Mohammed Sayari by a Special Forces team. The investigation revealed there is probable cause to find that Mr. Sayari was lured in to an ambush where he was murdered. The investigation further found that several other soldiers were involved in Obstruction of Justice, Conspiracy after the Fact and Dereliction of Duty in connection with the cover-up of the incident. There also appear to have been certain incriminating photographs of Sayari's body but were destroyed in the cover-up of the incident.
