Nibras guest house

The Nibras guest house is one of the many al Qaida guest houses, or al Qaida safe houses, or other houses that American intelligence analysts assert are part of the justifications offered for the continued extrajudicial detention of captives held in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. The guest house is named after one of the men who blew himself up during the USS Cole bombing. It is also called the Hajji Habash guest house.

The Nibras guest house is not the only house to be specified, by name. It is particularly notable because, unlike all the suspicious houses, that American intelligence analysts assert are tied to al Qaeda, the Nibras guest house is said to be owned, personally, by Osama bin Laden.

A team at the Combating Terrorism Center at the United States Military Academy at West Point, analyzed the Summary of Evidence memos prepared for captives' Combatant Status Review Tribunals. They classified the captives into four threat levels, "demonstrated threat", "potential threat", "associated threat" and "no threat". According to their classification schema a stay in a suspicious guest house or safe house was enough to classify a captive as an "associated threat".
