Testimony

Al Rushaydan acknowledged traveling to a refugee camp in Pakistan, near the border with Afghanistan. He had a five week itinerary, traveling through Bahrain, Syria, Iran, in addition to Pakistan.

He didn't have enough money to help out the refugees on this trip. But, if conditions were bad, he would try to raise funds for a subsequent donation.

The man he shared a hotel room with was not an Afghani, or a member of the Taliban government. He was an Iranian shop-keeper he met in a bazaar, who was also planning to go to Syria. So it made sense to share expenses.

Al Rushaydan chose to participate in his Administrative Review Board hearing. [http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/detainees/csrt/ARB_Transcript_Set_2_585-768.pdf#83 Summarized transcript (.pdf)] , from Abdallah Ibrahim Al Rushaydan's "Administrative Review Board hearing" - page 83]
