== Capture ==
On March 28, 2002, CIA and FBI agents, in conjunction with Pakistani intelligence, raided several safe houses in Pakistan searching for Zubaydah.<ref name="Worthington 2007">{{Cite book |last=Worthington |first=Andy |title=The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's Illegal Prison |publisher=Pluto Press |year=2007 |isbn=978-0745326641 |lccn=2007300318 |author-link=Andy Worthington}}</ref><ref name="McGirk 2002">{{Cite magazine |last=McGirk |first=Tim |date=April 8, 2002 |title=Anatomy of a Raid |url=https://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,227584,00.html |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318141413/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,227584,00.html |archive-date=March 18, 2012 |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref><ref name="Burns 2002">{{Cite news |last=Burns |first=John F. |author-link=John Fisher Burns |date=April 14, 2002 |title=A Nation Challenged: The Fugitives; In Pakistan's Interior, A Troubling Victory In Hunt for Al Qaeda |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/14/world/nation-challenged-fugitives-pakistan-s-interior-troubling-victory-hunt-for-al.html |url-access=limited |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160213162642/https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/14/world/nation-challenged-fugitives-pakistan-s-interior-troubling-victory-hunt-for-al.html |archive-date=February 13, 2016 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref><ref name="Anti-terror raid">{{Cite news |date=April 3, 2002 |title=Anti-terror raids yield bonanza for U.S. intelligence |url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20020403&slug=zub03 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200321001332/https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20020403&slug=zub03 |archive-date=March 21, 2020 |work=[[The Seattle Times]] |agency=''[[The Washington Post]]'' and [[The Associated Press]]}}</ref> Zubaydah was apprehended from one of the targeted safe houses in [[Faisalabad]], Pakistan.<ref name="Worthington 2007" /><ref name="McGirk 2002" /><ref name="Burns 2002" /><ref name="Anti-terror raid" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Kumar |first=Arun |date=May 28, 2008 |title=US imposes sanctions on four Lashkar-e-Toiba leaders |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/world/us-imposes-sanctions-on-four-let-leaders/story-y6sZa4HvJnC6kSlJ5WxoaO.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200321000938/https://www.hindustantimes.com/world/us-imposes-sanctions-on-four-let-leaders/story-y6sZa4HvJnC6kSlJ5WxoaO.html |archive-date=March 21, 2020 |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |agency=[[Indo-Asian News Service]]}}</ref> The Pakistani intelligence service had paid a small amount for a tip on his whereabouts.

During the raid, Zubaydah was shot in the thigh, the testicle, and the stomach with rounds from a Kalashnikov assault rifle.<ref name="Worthington 2007" /> Not recognized at first, he was piled into a [[pickup truck]] along with other prisoners by the Pakistani forces until a senior CIA officer identified him. He was taken by the Pakistanis to a Pakistani hospital nearby and treated for his wounds. The attending doctor told the CIA lead officer of the group which apprehended Zubaydah that he had never before seen a patient survive such severe wounds. The CIA flew in a doctor from [[Johns Hopkins University]] to ensure Zubaydah would survive during transit out of Pakistan.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Shane |first=Scott |date=June 22, 2008 |title=Inside a 9/11 Mastermind's Interrogation |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/22/washington/22ksm.html |access-date=2012-01-24 |work=New York Times}}</ref>

His [[pocket litter]] supposedly contained two [[ATM card|bank cards]], which showed that he had access to Saudi and Kuwaiti bank accounts; most al-Qaeda members used the preferred, untraceable [[hawala]] banking.<ref name="Risen 2006">Risen, James. ''State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration'', 2006</ref> According to [[James Risen]]: "It is not clear whether an investigation of the cards simply fell through the cracks, or whether they were ignored because no one wanted to know the answers about connections between al Qaeda and important figures in the Middle East—particularly in Saudi Arabia."<ref name="Risen 2006" /> One of Risen's sources chalks up the failure to investigate the cards to incompetence rather than foul play: "The cards were sent back to Washington and were never fully exploited. I think nobody ever looked at them because of incompetence."<ref name="Risen 2006" />

When Americans investigated the cards, Risen wrote that they worked with <blockquote>a Muslim financier with a questionable past, and with connections to the Afghan Taliban, al Qaeda, and Saudi intelligence.&nbsp;... Saudi intelligence officials had seized all of the records related to the card from the Saudi financial institution in question; the records then disappeared. There was no longer any way to trace the money that had gone into the account.<ref name="Risen 2006" /></blockquote>

A search of the safehouse turned up Zubaydah's 10,000-page diaries, in which he recorded his thoughts as a young boy, older man, and at his current age. What appears to be multiple separate identities is how Zubaydah was piecing his memories together after his 1992 shrapnel head wound. As part of his therapy to regain his memories, he began recording a diary that detailed his life, emotions, and what people were telling him. He split information into categories, such as what he knew about himself and what people told him, and listed them under different names to distinguish one set from the other. This was later interpreted by some analysts reviewing the diary as symptoms of [[Dissociative Identity Disorder]], which some others disputed and said to be incorrect.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Soufan |first=Ali |title=The Black Banners}}</ref>

Zubaydah was handed to the CIA.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2007/12/18/BL2007121800862.html Dan Froomkin, "Bush's Exhibit A for Torture"], ''The Washington Post'', December 18, 2007</ref><ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/01/AR2005110101644.html Dana Priest, "CIA Holds Terror Suspects in Secret Prisons"], ''The Washington Post'', November 2, 2005</ref> Reports later alleged that he was transferred to secret CIA-operated prisons, known as [[CIA black sites|black site]]s, in Pakistan, [[Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base#CIA Detention Site Green|Thailand]], Afghanistan, Poland, Northern Africa, and [[Diego Garcia]].<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/10/19/europe/EU-GEN-Britain-Diego-Garcia.php "Lawmakers to examine claims Indian Ocean island used in secret prison network"], ''International Herald Tribune'', October 19, 2007</ref><ref name="Marty 2007">Dick Marty, [http://assembly.coe.int/CommitteeDocs/2007/Emarty_20070608_NoEmbargo.pdf "Secret detentions and illegal transfers of detainees involving Council of Europe member states: Second report"], Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly, June 7, 2007</ref><ref name="Ross 2005">[https://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/story?id=1375123 Brian Ross and Richard Esposito, "EXCLUSIVE: Sources Tell ABC News Top Al Qaeda Figures Held in Secret CIA Prisons"], ABC News, December 5, 2005</ref><ref>[http://www.globalpulse.net/archives/security/cia_shuttled_pr_000087.php "CIA Shuffled Prisoners Out of Poland"] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20070504121937/http://www.globalpulse.net/archives/security/cia_shuttled_pr_000087.php |date=May 4, 2007 }}, ''Global Pulse'', December 5, 2005</ref><ref>[http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,1237589,00.html Jason Burke, "Secret World of U.S. Jails"], ''The Observer'', June 13, 2004</ref><ref name="EnforcedDisappearance">[http://www.reprieve.org.uk/documents/FinalReprieveFASCExecutiveSummary.pdf "Enforced Disappearance, Illegal Interstate Transfer, and Other Human Rights Abuses Involving the UK Overseas Territories: Executive Summary"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080706132241/http://www.reprieve.org.uk/documents/FinalReprieveFASCExecutiveSummary.pdf |date=July 6, 2008 }}, Reprieve</ref>{{Excessive citations inline|date=September 2024}} Historically, renditions of prisoners to countries which commit torture have been illegal.
