In a Red Cross report leaked to the New York Review of Books, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed states that the country where he was held and interrogated while on transit from Afghanistan to Guantanamo Bay might have been Poland.

“I think the country was Poland. I think this because on one occasion a water bottle was brought to me without the label removed. It had an e-mail address ending in ‘.pl,’” the report quoted Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as saying.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed said he recognized the building's radiators. “The central-heating system was an old style one that I would only expect to see in countries of the former communist system,” the report quotes him as saying.

In it, the alleged “mastermind” of the 9/11 attacks claims he was tortured and severely beaten during his stay in Poland, and that he was subjected to the notorious practice of “waterboarding.”

“During the harshest period of my interrogation I gave a lot of false information in order to satisfy what I believed the interrogators wished to hear in order to make the ill-treatment stop,” the report quotes him as saying. “I'm sure that the false information I was forced to invent in order to make the ill-treatment stop wasted a lot of their time and led to several false red-alerts being placed in the US.”

The 40-page document, drafted in 2007, reports “the findings and recommendations of the International Committee of the Red Cross following its visits to fourteen 'high value detainees' transferred to Guantanamo in September 2006.”

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was arrested on March 1, 2003 in Pakistan. He is currently in US custody and is awaiting a ruling on charges of war crimes and murder.
