 Detainee (through translator): True.

Presiding Officer: It's a proverb for us that there is no such thing as friendly fires. I think maybe that would be true for you too.

Detainee (through translator): It is hard to take it that way.

Presiding Officer: If they shoot you, it is unfriendly even if it is your people.

Detainee (through translator): Yes.

Board Member: How did you know it was an Uzbek soldier who shot you?

Detainee (through translator): A few people had been shot and we were told it was an Uzbek soldier.

Designated Military Officer: (3.d.2) Eventually, the detainee's unit was ordered to withdraw from Konduz, Afghanistan and to report to Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan where they were to surrender their weapons to General Dostum. They were told that if they surrendered their weapons to General Dostum, they would be allowed to continue to Kandahar, Afghanistan and then leave Afghanistan to return to their countries. However, when they arrived at Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan, the detainee and the others were arrested and imprisoned,

Detainee (through translator): What does report to Mazar-e-Sharif mean?

Presiding Officer: It means that you were directed to go there.

Detainee (through translator): Yes.

Designated Military Officer: (4) The following primary factors favor release or transfer. (4.a) The detainee denied having any knowledge of the attacks in the United States prior to their execution on 11 September 2006 and also denied knowledge of any rumors or plans of future attacks on the United States or United States interests.

Detainee (through translator): True.

Presiding Officer: For the record, I want to note that paragraph 4.a has a typo for the year. It should be 11 September 2001, not 11 September 2006.

Designated Military Officer: (4.b) The detainee was queried regarding any knowledge or planning of internal uprisings at the Guantanamo Detention Facility with negative results.

Detainee (through translator); True.
