Three years after his release, Ali al-Marri claims he is innocent and wants his FBI interrogators brought to account. Al-Marri, a Qatari, arrived in Chicago on 10 September 2001 with his wife and five children. They claimed he had visited al-Qaida training camps in Pakistan, and was in contact with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. What is undisputed is that from 2003 Al-Marri was held in a deliberately chilled cell with periods of enforced nudity. Threatening to sodomise me, threatening to rape my wife, threatening to bring in my kids, that’s torture.
