After his capture nearly two decades ago, Mohammed al-Qahtani was imprisoned, tortured by the US government and -- when charges against him were dropped in 2008 -- left to languish behind bars
The US government is set to transfer a detainee from the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba who authorities once alleged was an al-Qaeda operative who planned to be the"20th hijacker" on 9/11 but failed to board United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in rural Pennsylvania.
. CNN previously reported that al-Qahtani's lawyers said he is severely mentally ill, battling schizophrenia, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of his torture. They have waged a protracted legal battle for al-Qahtani's repatriation to Saudi Arabia.
