Guest Houses

The American intelligence analysts who compiled the justifications for continuing to detain the captives taken in the war on terror made dozens of references to an al Qaida safe house, in Faisalabad, Pakistan.Safe house in Faisalabad where Abu Zubaydah, Sufyian Barhoumi, Ghassan al-Shirbi, Jabran Al Qahtani, Abdul Zahir and several other captives were captured.
Five of the twenty men who face charges before Guantanamo military commissions were captured in a single raid on a safe house in Faisalabad.
American and Pakistani counter-terrorism officials have made multiple raids on suspected safe houses in Faisalabad.
One large raid, of what counter-terrorism officials described as an "al-Qaida safe house", netted dozens of foreigners, from around the world, who the counter-terrorism officials described as suspicious. The captives however, during their Combatant Status Review Tribunals, disputed that living with other foreigners should be a trigger for suspicions, when they were all foreign students living in Salafi University's foreign student's dormitory.
