Pro-#AQ media channels on Telegram today published in Pdf, the second updated edition of Fayez Mohammed Ahmed al-Kandari's book, entitled: “Serious affliction and new birth, fourteen years in Guantánamo”.

1/ Short thread:

Who is al-Kandari? Image
2/
Al-Kandari is a Kuwaiti jihadist, detained from 2002 to 2016 in the prison of Guantanamo Bay (central topic of the book, the author's dedication quoted: “I will not try to convince you, but I will try to put truth, grave affliction and new birth in your hands”).
3/

Al-Kandari is a Jihad veteran, recruited militants for the Afghan-Soviet war, trained and worked in the Khaldan camp. He personally knew Osama bin Laden and was with him in Tora Bora. Member of #alQaeda and alleged leader of AQ and member of the #AQC.
4/

Al-Kandari has always denied the allegations, saying he is a businessman traveling for charity (in addition to #Afghanistan, he has been to #Bosnia and #Pakistan).
5/

Al-Kandari according to some information may have also been tortured (sleep deprivation, physical abuse, suffocation, sexual humiliation, use of extreme temperatures, loud music and dogs".
(There is a wonderful book by @Ali_H_Soufan about torture).
6/

He was transferred to Kuwait in 2016.

The table of contents of the book is very interesting, obviously it is the version of events told by al-Kandari.
