Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri was held briefly at the CIA's 'Salt Pit' prison in Afghanistan before being transferred to a black site in Thailand.
Notes on verification
Corroborated by multiple independent, high-quality sources including declassified CIA cables analyzed by the National Security Archive, the Rendition Project's detailed timeline, Open Society Justice Initiative litigation records, and an ICC filing. All align on the sequence and brief duration of detention at the Salt Pit before transfer to Thailand. [tier=gold indep_score=0.9 clusters=4 claim_tier=notable]
