CIA believed Adil Hadi al Jazairi Bin Hamlili ‘withheld important information’ from British intelligence, the files reveal.
An
al-Qaida operative accused of bombing two Christian churches and a luxury hotel in
Pakistan in 2002 was at the same time working for British intelligence, according to secret files on detainees who were shipped to the US military's
Guantánamo Bay prison camp.
Adil Hadi al Jazairi Bin Hamlili, an Algerian citizen described as a "facilitator, courier, kidnapper, and assassin for al-Qaida", was detained in Pakistan in 2003 and later sent to Guantánamo Bay.

In 1974, Steinbrenner was indicted on 14 criminal charges of making illegal contributions to President Richard Nixon's re-election campaign. He would later plead guilty to obstruction of justice and conspiring to make illegal campaign contributions. A major Republican donor, he was slapped with a two-year suspension from baseball, though it was later reduced to just nine months. The charges remained on Steinbrenner's record until 1989, when President Ronald Reagan granted him a pardon after he admitted to his wrongdoing.
Excerpt:
WASHINGTON — The FBI released documents Monday stating that New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner assisted the agency in two investigations – one of them apparently a terrorism probe – in the years leading up to his pardon by President Ronald Reagan on a campaign-contributions conviction.
The Associated Press and other news organizations requested the FBI file under the Freedom of Information Act following Steinbrenner's death in July. The first release was made last December. The two releases combined totaled about 800 pages.
