June 24, 2003 | FBI | ACLU-RDI 2963

Detainee was interviewed on April 1, 2002 regarding the Qala-i-Jangi prison uprising, Nov. 25 - Dec. 1, 2001. He states that an explosion happened in the prision basement, maybe from a grenade, where he and many other prisoners were kept. He also states that he saw a dead Uzbek in the prision yard when he was led out of the basement, but does not know how the Uzbek died. He then states that prisoners were then taken out to a courtyard with their hands tied behind their backs. When the prisioners revolted, an "American-looking" man wearing jeans shot a prisoner in the head when the prisioner ran at him. The detainee also states he was shot in the legs, but does not know who shot him. Detainee stated that he then stayed in prision basement for 24 hours, subjected to grenade explosions, gasoline and water being poured in to the basement, but does not know who inserted the grenade, gasoline and water in to the basement until rescued by an ambulance and taken to a hospital.
