Hussain v. Obama, et al, No. 11-5344 (D.C. Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseAppellant appealed the district court's denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The district court concluded that appellant was part of al Qaeda or the Taliban at the time of his capture, based on evidence of what he did and with whom he stayed in Pakistan and Afghanistan as well as his efforts to explain away that evidence, which the district court found implausible. The court affirmed the judgment, concluding that the district court's findings of fact were not clearly erroneous, and those facts supported the conclusion that appellant was more likely than not a part of enemy forces at the time of his capture.
