SUBJECT: Escape and shooting at Abu Gharaib

1. This 15-6 investigation includes two parts. An escape that took place around 1400 and a riot thatresulted in a shooting and death of one detainee and injuries to seven other detainees around 1600.

The Escape: The detainee , #8968 , used a piece of cardboard from a water bottle box to push the triplestrain concertina wire up and slide under. The detainee did this while the tower guard was turned theother way. The QRF was activated and quickly apprehended the detainee while other guards pursued.Reference enclosure 21.

Q. This location was previously used by detainees to escape seven days earlier. This is an ideal spot touse because of the concealment along the wall. This spot was reinforced after the first escapeattempt. A step to prevent an attempted escape attempt like this would be a cellblock enclosure.The cel1block is currently being renovated. Prisoners use cardboard boxes to sleep 011. This isgood for preventive medicine.

b. The SOP does not specifically cover an escape attempt. This is a general guard order to preventdetainees from escaping

I he Riot: Around 1600 , 30-40 detainees started to throw rocks from their compounds at the threeinterior guards. The interior guards tried to get behind a generator to avoid the rock throws. They thenproceeded to the exit. Enroute to the exit the interior guards were hit with baseball size rocks. Aprisoner was about to throw a tent pole like ajavelin at the interior guards only 10- 15 feet away. whcnall three guard towers fired at the main threat 8 times and one tower shot 3 times into the crowd. Thiseffectively dispersed the crowd and eliminated the threat. Reference enclosure 20 and 22 for the prisonoverlay and tower shooting layout.

a. Upon reading the sworn statements (enclosure 7 - 19), I determined that the shooting was justified.All three towers determined that the lives of the interior guards were threatened. This fact underthe current rules of engagement gives authorization for the soldier to respond with a lethal force.Prior to lethal response the towers even tried to verbalJy control the crowd ineffectively. The rulesof engagement are reinforced in the company SOP and stationed at the guard towers. They werefollowed.

b. The company having placed a variety of weapons (M16 or shotgun) gives the guards the choice toavoid unnecessary ricochet or firepower thru a target. This choice let the guard in tower #6 controlthe crowd effectively with fewer deaths but more injuries.

c. Thc QRF responded immediately after the shots. They helped secure the injured detainees fortreatment and secure the compounds.

MEMORANDUM FOR COMMANDER. 400th Military Police Battalion

SUI:3JEC1: Use of Deadly Force. Abu Guhrayb Ddainment facility

, 12 June 2004, at approximately 1800 hours . the detainees became agitated and began demandinganswers regarding their capture and the amount of time they would be held in custod) , They wereupset ~H1d declared that they were being housed improperly and lacked basic needs such as ,howersshampoo, blankets and toilets. Several of the detainees threw rocks and tent poles out of the enclosureat the guards and one guard was struck on the hand. At that time, the Company first Sergeant DarylKeithley, and myselfrespcfnded to the Yat"d and addressed the detainees through one of the prisonerinterpreters. They were advised that many of the new detainees had release dates and that the CampCommander would review other cases and provide us information when it was available. Thedetainees were all advised that throwing rocks and tent poles at the guards would constitute deadlyforce and that they could and would be shot if that behavior occurred again. The situation \\asdeescalated , however, due to a lack of additional compounds. the individuals suspected of throwingrocks and tent pools were not pulled out and segregated. A sitrep was sent to battalion with a requestto charge the individuals and have them sent to Camp Cropper.

..,

On 13 June 2003 , at approximately 1400 hours- a disturbance was again reported in the yard andinvolved an attempted escape by detainee #8968. The detainee attempted to go through the wireutilizing a cardboard box , however, was immediately apprehended as he exited the wire. At this time acount was initiated , however , detainees in both compounds refused to stand to be counted. The QRFwas dispatched, and ultimately the COUllt proceeded without incident.

Trov E, Armstron WANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UNDER OATH:On 13 June 2003 , while performing duties as the Company Commander of the 72nd \1ilitary Police Company, I was alertedto gunshots in the yard area where the company maintains civilian detainees. The attached memo entitled " Use of DeadlyForce Abu Guhrayb Detainee Facility , is my official statement. In addition the following information regarding thecircumstances surrounding an attempted escape earlier that day are provided:

a) The detainee identified escaped by plac1l1g a card board box into the concertina \\'ire and then crawled through it as thetower guard in rower 4 had turned away briefly, When the tower guard turned back in the direction of the wire he observedthe detainee going through the wire , but was unable to get immediate assistance as his radio batteries had died out. Afteryelling he was able to get elements on the ground to respond and apprehend the detainee-

b) While we instituted a static position at this location in the evening during limited visibility it was not posted duringdaylight hours. As a result , we are now posting the static post during evening and daytime hours.

e) Additional uaining regarding detainee behavior and rules of engagement would be welcome and beneficial. Moreimportant would be to be given adequate resources to provide a secure environment that met the standards of care andhumanity outlined in AR 190-8. This would al1eviate some of the discomfort and frustration of the detainees providing lesscause for them to riot and attempt to escape.

f) The QRF had been alerted and was preparing to go into the detainee yard as shoots were heard. Lpon entering the yard.the shots had been fired. The QRF then responded to the enclosure area where it evacuated wounded detainees , providedFirst Aid and then assisted in their transport to the mcdivac pad.1/1

I, ISG DARYL A. KEITHLEY , WANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT UrJOER OATH

n 13 lun 2003 . at approx. 1400 hrs. I received information that QRF had been activated for a attempted prison escape in theyard. Upon my arrival at the scene , I made contact with SGT \Voodworth and SPC Cook who was escorting detainee #8968 to theInprocessing tem. I was advised that the detainee had laid down a piece of cardboard at the bottom of the concertina wire andcrawled through tbe wire at which time QRF was notified and made the apprehension. Detainee #8908 verbally related that hewas the onJy one rh3t anempted to escape. We had been advised hy other prisoners that three (3) detainees had escaped. At th~ttime we attempted or conduct a head count of the two compounds , however . both compounds refused to he counted. QRr \\asdespatched out to the compound and the prisoners were advised no releases would occur today unless they stOod in a straight Jim:and got counted. At that time both compounds stOod up to be counted with the QRF present. It was \Try nidcnt th3t theprisoners \vere very agitated and not very cooperative. I felt that there would definitely be some type of ,) incident from those thatwould not get released on this dale.

On 13 lun 2003 . at approx. 1557 hI's. we initiated the release of 15 prisoners. After the release had been completed you cottldagain tell that the remaining de1ainees were very agitated and were just waiting for a excuse. I stayed in 'he \ard for a fewminutes, then returned back into the building.

On ) 3 lun 2003. at approx. 1615 Ius. I heard the QRF radio go off requesting that they respond to the yard. Less than a minutelater I could hear what sounded like gun shots going off in the compound. At that time CPT Armstrong and myself tOok offruIming tOwards the yard. As I got in vision of the yard . I couJd see three (3) of the 400th personnel hankered down behind thegenerateI' in the yard. 1 yelled at them to go ahead and exit the yard. CPT Armstrong and myself along with some members ofthe QRF continued into the yard. There were still numeroUS detainees standing in front of the tents in both compounds yelling andscreaming at us. I \' erbally advised and with hand motions advised the subjects to get down on the ground. Most of the detaineesstill refused to get down , but a few complied. After yelling: and screaming at the detainees to get down and obtaining a shotgunand more QRF personnel 3rrived we entered Compound Alpha. We observed that one (I) detainee had been shot in the arm. that time QRF extracted that detainee out. While this was being conducted one (1) detainee refused to get down and continued toyell and scream at us provoking the other detainees. At that time I advised the QRF to go ahead and place that subject in custOdy,Subject resisted. but was removed from the compound and moved to Compound C without further incident. After that the QRFand myself entered Compound B where most of the injuries were. It should be noted that all of the injured detainees had beendrug from the yard to under the tentage for cover. The QRF team removed 7 injured detainees out of the tentage area into tilecenter ill-way. At th~t time MP personnel began to administer immediate first-aid and transport the prisoners to the first aidstation. It should be noted that personnel that entered into the cages , entered into a extremely \ olatile situation , pUtting thcre lives

- in danger in a attempt to extract the wounded prisoners out of the compounds as absolut~ly as fast as possible in a attempt \0 savethere lives and get them the proper medical anemion. All of the detainee s were kept inside the rems until all of the prisoners thathad been shot were removed out to the Medivac site where seven out of the eight prisoners were medivaced from the flight line.4- H- Prisoner ID #8667 had gunshots to his lower abdomen and back died while waiting for the medivac to arri\'

Once the medivac exited the area , I initiated the investigation of thc incident. Investigation rcvc~led that SGT Sweeten fired IouI'(4) 5. 56 rounds from the yard tower into the compounds. SGT Swcetcn Utilized a M 16A2 Rine. SN# 7000087. Two (21 at therounds recovered \"ere at the very base of the yard towcr and two morc 5. 56 rounds werc recovered by myself at the top of thetOwer as evidence. The recover occurred at approx. 1823 hrs. 13 lun 03. Lt. lVlartinez photographed whne the expended roundslocated in the tower and photographed where'SGT Sweeten would be looking from the tower into tIle yard.

At approx. 1900 hI's. I took into custody five (5) 12 gauge Winchester shotgun rounds located outside the to\\ er wall of T 0\\121' No#6 located on the N E side of the compound. These rounds were shot off by SPC Henry who was caring a Mossberg 12 g:lllge10. EXHIBIT 1 t INITI SON MAKING STATEMENT
