The report said the prisoners include the alleged architect of the Sept. 11 attacks, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed; Abu Zubaydah, who is believed to be a close aide to Osama bin Laden; Ramzi bin al-Shaibah, who might have been a Sept. 11 hijacker if he had not failed to get a U.S. visa; and Riduan Isamuddin, who is more commonly known as Hambali and thought to be the main link between al-Qaida and a radical Islamic organization based in Indonesia.
In refusing to disclose the prisoners' whereabouts or acknowledge the detentions, Human Rights Watch said, the U.S. government has violated international law, international treaties and the Geneva Convention. The group called on the government to bring all prisoners "under the protection of the law."
