9/11 Suspect Was Detained and Taped in Morocco
By MARK MAZZETTI

WASHINGTON — A Yemeni man implicated in the Sept. 11 attacks was secretly detained in Morocco after Central Intelligence Agency operatives took him there in 2002, officials said Tuesday.

While the man, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, was detained in a prison near Rabat, Moroccan officials videotaped several of his interrogation sessions and gave the recordings to the C.I.A., the American officials said.

The new details about Mr. bin al-Shibh’s detention, first reported Tuesday by The Associated Press, shed light on Morocco’s role as a holding site for suspected members of Al Qaeda captured by the United States.
