The group felt secure with their Pakistani host who convinced tlem to surr nder their weapons to prevsnt their identification as mujahideen. The host then informed the group that the Pakistani forces were aware oftheir presence and they had to relocate.

Detainee's cover story is assessed to be false, He attempts to prevent the association of Al-Qaida and exbemist enltities to him tlrougb other falsified staternentsuch as that ofhis capture. Detaiaee's acknowledged travel to the region following the 11 September attacks, verified by Saudi Mabahith investigations, his false cover story, associates and placement in areas of hostilities indicates the purpose ofhis travel to Afghanistan was forjihad in support ofal-qaida and the Taliban 7.

Detainee uses a common extr mist story in which he baveled to Afghanistan to firlfill the charity pillar of Islam. o (S/NF) Detainee ciaimed to have worked for a charity organization called Al Ighatha Al Khairia ('The Charitable Aid" in Arabic) aka Al Ighatha"' He further stated that he coorperated with the Intemational Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) while living in Al Jawf.2E The Mabahith st led tbat detainee volunteered to work with relief organizations in Kosovo.2e lanalyst Note: The A1 Ighatha Al Khairia organization appears to be a stand alone organization; however, there are organizations known to suppoft te,rrorism that have Al Ighatha or A1 Khairia in their titles or sub-element titles and detainee's identification of the NGO may not be complete. The IIRO a:rd Al Haramalm are examples of NGOs with these titles in their n:mes.

Detainee traveled from Saudi Arabia via Syria and ban." (Analyst Note: Detainee does nol provide an explaaation for his abnormal route ofingress. Furthermore, the route he traveled is one common to jihadists entering Afghanistan for training under the guise ofngo activity.
