Former Australian Guantanamo Bay detainee Mamduh Habib has said he was routinely subjected to torture during his three years in US custody.
"Yeah! Once they cut both my legs off with a miter saw!" |
"Really?"
"Well, I got better." | In a paid interview with Australia's Nine Network television station on Sunday, the Egyptian-born Australian national said he was subjected to electric shocks and beatings every day and even threatened with sexual abuse by a trained dog after he was taken to Egypt from Pakistan, where he was arrested in late 2001.
"They called him 'Bowser the Wowser.' Several of the prisoners became pregnant by him!" | While under torture, he said he made a series of false confessions, including that he trained people to hijack aircraft to fly them into the World Trade Centre in New York, and also that he had fought in Chechnya. Habib maintained: "I have been through a lot, I have been harmed for no reason. I am innocent." |
