Four memos prepared at Guantanamo and Batarfi’s own indicate otherwise."  mirror

"Detainee’s mentor, Doctor Amer Aziz, personally treated UBL and noted detainee was “quite keen” on fighting and “fully believed in al-Qaida.” Doctor Aziz also stated that he and detainee attended a luncheon with UBL hosted by al-Qaida military commander Abu Hafs al-Masri. Doctor Aziz is suspected of having connections to the al-Qaida chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) programs.54 (Analyst Note: Detainee has denied attending this luncheon.)"  16x16px Media related to File:ISN 00627, Ayman Batarfi's Guantanamo detainee assessment.pdf at Wikimedia Commons
