McClatchy News Service interview
On June 15, 2008 the McClatchy News Service published a series of articles based on interviews with 66 former Guantanamo captives.
Noor Habib was captured in November 2001 in Bamian Province when he and another man were transporting a shipment of goats. He said he was held by Afghan militia for several months, and then several months in the American Kandahar detention facility. He reported brutal beatings in both Afghan custody, and in Kandahar.
Noor Habib was transported to Guantanamo in mid-2002. Before he was released, in the summer of 2003, shortly before he was repatriated, he was told that he had been suspected of being a Taliban commander.
