ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- In his chronicle of life as an inmate at Guantanamo Bay,
Afghan writer Abdul Rahim Muslim Dost describes his three years of humiliating
detention for alleged ties to al-Qaida.

Now, he has lost his liberty again -- this time believed jailed by the Pakistani
intelligence service for the book's fierce criticism of the agency's role in the
U.S.-led war on terrorist groups.

Just weeks after the Sept. 3 release of "The Broken Shackles of Guantanamo,"
co-written with his brother and fellow Guantanamo detainee Badruz Zaman Badar,
Dost was taken away as he left a mosque after prayers in the northwest Pakistan
city of Peshawar, where the family has lived for nearly 30 years.

Badar, 36, hasn't seen Dost since and thinks he was detained by Pakistan's
Inter-Services Intelligence. In the book, the brothers condemn the agency as a
"black institution" and accuse it of selling them into American custody.
