Pentagon: Senior al-Qaida operative shipped to Guantanamo
Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi an Iraqi born 1961 and longtime al Qaida leader was secretly held by the CIA for months and then transferred to Guantanamo Bay. He led attacks against U S forces in Afghanistan and plotted against Pakistan's Musharraf and U N officials. The transfer marks the 15th high value detainee handed to the Cuba facility, a move opponents call torture. Pentagon officials say he was a key paramilitary figure in Afghanistan in the late 1990s and 2002 to 2004 aimed at U S troops, but officials would not disclose capture details.
