Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri
Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri is a Saudi national and alleged mastermind behind the USS Cole bombing in 2000. Like Hawsawi, he was captured by the CIA and subjected to torture in secret facilities before being transferred to Guantánamo Bay. His ongoing legal battles have raised serious questions about the involvement of UK intelligence agencies in his treatment and the larger implications of their complicity in the CIA’s torture program.
