Abdullah Salim al-Qahtani was held in the Central Intelligence Agency's network of black sites.[1][2] He was captured in 2003.
In December 2014 the United States Senate Intelligence Committee released an unclassified summary of its huge report on the CIA's use of torture, which confirmed Shaukat had been held in CIA custody.[1] The Senate report concluded he had been illegally subjected to torture without authorization from CIA headquarters. The Senate report concluded that Shaukat had never been part of al Qaida, he had merely once been neighbors with individuals who later may have joined al Qaida.
The CIA captured him in 2002, and held Shaukat for about two months.[3]

You probably haven't heard many of these names before. But they are important, both in terms of the terrorist plots they either planned or executed, and in how the U.S. government treated them once they became prisoners, according to the newly released Senate Intelligence Committee's torture report.
