Cageprisoners: "Then, in July 2001, your husband was arrested. Could you explain us the circumstances of his arrest?"
Umm Hamza: "He was arrested in Dubai while he was coming from Pakistan. He was accompanying a friend's family. One of their children was sick and could not handle life in Afghanistan anymore. As the passport of this friend had expired, he asked my husband to take his family back to Morocco. My husband had his French passport and was arrested without being given any reason. He was detained and tortured horribly for two months. He was forced to confess to a bomb-attack plot against the American Cultural Centre in France. Later, they realized that this centre did not exist anymore. They changed the target, saying that it was actually the American embassy."
