Khalid El-Masri

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Khalid El-Masri (also Khaled El-Masri and Khaled Masri) (born June 29, 1963) is a German citizen who was kidnapped in the Republic of Macedonia, flown to Afghanistan, allegedly beaten, stripped, raped, and interrogated and tortured by the CIA for several months as a part of the War on Terror, and then released. His erroneous rendition was apparently due to a misunderstanding that arose concerning the similarity of the spelling of El-Masri's name with the spelling of suspected terrorist al-Masri (the names are spelled the same way when using Arabic script).
