ADDRESS: 1441 North Miami Avenue FOLIO NUMBER: 01-3136-005-1110 OWNED BY: Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency #22662 Pieter A. Bockweg, Executive Director Omni and Midtown Community Redevelopment Agencies beenheld since 2006 at a se- cret prison at Guantanamo called Camp 7. In February 2012, he pleaded guilty to war es for joining al- Qaida after the 9/11 attacks and moving$50A00 used to ford a 2003 terrorist bomb- ing of a Marriott hotel in Southeast Asia He also agreedto testify against oth- ers at war court proceed- ings, something that has not yet happened. Under the plea deal, Flhan can be released in 2031 at the earliest, said Army Is. Col. Myles B. Caggins III, a Pen- tagon spokesman. Dixon said Tuesday that a senior Pentagon official could re- duce the sentence, which should be done in light of Khan's torture. The world first learned some of the lurid details of Blhan's CIA detentionin De- cember when the Senate In- telligence Committee r - leased 524 partially redacted pages of its 6,700-page "Torture Report" on the black sites. It recounted how the CIA "rectally infused" a pureed "food tray" of hum- anus, pasta with sauce, nuts, d r into Khan in what wasdescribedas quasi -medical procedure because the captive was on a hunger strike. Dixonon Tuesday called it "rape" and said, based on interviews with IOhan that were previously sealed as Top Secret, he also suffered sexual abuse such as having "his private parts' touched while he was hung naked from the ceiling." The public portion of the Senate report, however, does not include Khan among those captives who were waterboarded by the agency. A footnote on page 104 of the Senate report does describe agents putting him a tub where he was in with ice water. Dimon said Khan first de- scribed that episode to his lawyers as far back as Octo- ber 2007, a year after his ar- rival at Guantanamo, in a level of greater detail that made clear that agents were waterboarding Khan in May and July 2003. Pakistani se- curity officials had raptured him in March and handed over to the CIA two months later. "An interrogator forced Khan's head under the wa- ter until he thought he would drown," the account released Tuesday said. "The interrogator would pull Flhan's head out of the water to demand answers to ques- tions andthenforcehishead back under the water, re- peatedly. Water and ice were also poured from a bucket onto Khan's mouth and nose when his head was not submerged." The CIA, in a statement, denied the claim. 'There were three detai- nees to waterboard- ing by CIA. Majid Blhanwas not one of them," the state- ment said. The CIA also referred to its "detailed, declassified re- sponse" to the Senate Torture Report—whichde- fended the "rectal rehydra- tion" of Khan as "the most appropriate means." Khan, the report said, dangerously removed "his naso-gastric tube," the system of force- feeding now used at Guantanamo. The three men the CIA has acknowledged it water - boarded were the alleged Sept. 11 plot mastermind Flhalid Sheila Mohammed; the alleged architect of the USS Cole bombing Abd al Rahim al Nashirk and the fast high -value captive of the post 9/fl eta, Abu Zubya- dah, whose full name al Hussein. Mohammed and Nashiri are awaiting death - penalty trials at Guantana- mo. Abu Zubaydah faces no Thames.

Local newsmagarine Epo- ca was the first to report on the inquiry, saying it had ob- tained the police investiga- tion into Ricardo Teireira A federal prosecutor spokesman in Rio de Janeiro confirmed by email Tuesday the investigation exists but saidit's sealed and couldgive no details. Police and Brazil's national soccer confederation didn't return repeated calls seeking comments. It was not imme- diately passable to contact Teixeira or his representa- tives, and ifs not dear if he has legal representation deal- ing with the investigation. Under Brazilian law, only prosecutors can file criminal charges and they then must be accepted by a judge According to the report in the magazine, police have re- quested to prosecutors that Teixeira be charged with money-laundering tax eva- sion, forgery, and fats ification of public documents related to bank transfers made be- tween 2009 and 2012, in the run-up to last year's World Cup in Brazil. The case isn't yet directly tied to the American investi- gation into FIFA, but Brazi- lian police have saidthey are willing to assist U.S. investi- gators ifaslm3. The 67-yearold Teixeira, who was once considered a potential successor to FIFA President Sepp Blaster, has faced allegations of corrup- tion before, but the accusa- tions have never stuck The one-time son-in-law of former FIFA President Joao Havelange, Teixeira signed as thepresident of the Brazilian soccer confeder- ation and the 2014World Cup organizing committee in early 2012 after acontentious 23-year stint in charge of the sportinthe country. When he resigned for what he said were medical reasons localmediareported that prosecutors had found evidence linking him to a company that organized a game between Brazil and Portugal in 2008 in Brasilia Thecompanywas investigat- ed for hregularitir in orga- nizing the match Teixeira was never convicted of any wrongdoing but he was twice invests redby Brazil's Congress, induding over a contract signed withNilhe After Brazil won the 1994 World Cup, Teixeira found himself amid a controversy when players and officials tried to re-enter Brazil with- out paying proper taxes on gifts and other imparted goods bought by themin the United States. Before the 2006 World Cup, prosecu- tors accused him and a tou- rism agency of selling ticlsts for the event without follow- ing legal procedures.
