Captured in A Karachi Safe House or Guest House
American and Pakistani counter-terrorism officials conducted an extensive series of raids, across Pakistan, on September 11, 2002, the first anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. Suspected safe houses and guesthouses in Karachi and Faisalabad were particular targets. Several of the captives captured on September 11, 2002 were of sufficient intelligence value that they were interrogated first in one of the CIA's archipelago of black sites, in particular the dark prison.
Some other captives were captured in suspect safe houses or guest houses in Karachi on other dates. And yet other captive's documents state that they were captured in a Karachi safe house or guest house, without specifying the date it occurred. Captives said to have been captured in a Karachi safe house include: Shawki Awad Balzuhair, Ha Il Aziz Ahmed Al Maythali Hassan Mohammed Ali Bin Attash, Sabri Mohammed Ebrahim Al Qurashi

with sinns, with cares and sorrows vext,
By age and paines brought to decay,
