On April 26, 2004 the DIF released the trio to the custody of Task Force 6-26. They were then transferred to the custody of "OGA" [common pseudonym for the CIA]. While with the OGA, two of the trio claim they were struck with a rifle on and one alleges he was sodomized with the butt of a rifle while in custody. Medical reports and detainee statements indicate that abuse did not occur while in custody at the DIF or with the Marines who initially stopped them. The report stated "In my opinion, based on the facts and circumstances articulated above, the two detainees in question were not abused at any point while in the custody of the (sic) Marine Division personnel." It was recommended that "No further investigation is warranted".
