Biography
Mullah Habibullah was an Afghan who died on December 4, 2002, while in US custody at the Bagram Collection Point, a US military detention center in Afghanistan. His death was one of those classed as a homicide, though the initial military statement described his death as due to natural causes. Habibullah's brother was a Taliban commander. Carlotta Gall, The New York Times reporter in Afghanistan, was the first to discover the story in 2003. Captain Carolyn Wood, commander of Alpha Company of the 519th Military Intelligence Battalion, and Captain Christopher Beiring, commander of the 377th Military Police Company, directed their troops at the Bagram Collection Point to confine their captives with their arms handcuffed above their heads in order to deprive them of sleep. Lt. Gen. Daniel K. McNeill was later quoted in the press denying that Bagram prisoners had been chained to the ceiling or held in chains attached to the ceiling. Their troops routinely kneed their captives in the side of their thighs. They called these "compliance blows". During a Criminal Investigation Division inquiry, their troops claimed they had been toldâincorrectlyâthat this kind of blow was a legal, authorized use of force.
