Sabir Mahfouz Lahmar: Allegations of Abuse, ARB 2005

p. 22361

From my first day in Cuba, I asked the interrogators to question[] me regarding the bombing of the Embassy. They tried to avoid asking me questions regarding that matter. On occasion, they told me they knew I didn’t attempt to blow up the Embassy; they only brought me to Cuba for information. They told me if I gave them information, they would let me go. I refused to talk to them until they addressed the accusation of the bombing of the Embassy. This lasted for eight months before they gave up on me talking. I was punished and placed in solitary confinement for three months.
