This includes ata minimum, an unredacted copy of the almost entirely redacted document [REDACTED].

[REDACTED] (indicating that terrorist training manuals may have been “recovered” by the government). The government bases its detention authority on a claim that Petitioner was involved in “terrorist training” but has failed to offer any support or substance to the assertion that such training occurred at Khalden. Accordingly, there is good cause to

[REDACTED] Decl. at 1, [REDACTED] declaration lacks any citation or other substantiation for many of the claims contained therein. Petitioner has good reason to be skeptical of the basis for such conclusions. For example, in the factual return of Barhoumi Sufiyan, which refers to Petitioner as a “senior al Qaida leader,” the only government source for this information is based on an internet newspaper called the Karachi Dawn. See Sufiyan Factual Return at 12. Thus, in order to adequately challenge the reliability of [REDACTED] allegations concerning Khaldan and Derunta, it is necessary for Petitioner to know the source[s] from which the information is derived.
