Jawad testified during his Combatant Status Review Tribunal and annual Administrative Review Board hearings as to how he came to be present during the grenade attack. According to his account he was approached outside a mosque after prayers, and offered a well-paying job clearing land-mines on the nearby Afghan border. Jawad said that his widowed mother had left him in the care of his uncles, and that he felt a burden to them, so he accepted this offer. However, when he arrived at the mountain camp where he thought he was going to be trained in how to clear land mines his bosses drugged him , and after several days of dreaminess they asked him to carry some objects in his pocket on a visit to a bazaar. He testified that when he was asked to stay and wait for his companions, while still carrying the objects in his pocket. He acknowledged hearing a distant explosion, but it didn't really get his attention. Instead, he testified he got bored, and decided to buy some raisin from a nearby food stall. Henley acknowledges that during his initial Afghan custody armed interrogators threatened that they would kill his family if he didn't confess. During discovery his Prosecution team were to acknowledge that, prior to the key confession to American interrogators, Jawad had been in Guantanamo's frequent flyer program and had been subjected to weeks of sleep deprivation. Darrel Vandeveld, the senior member of Jawad's prosecution, resigned in October.  In interviews following his resignation Vandeveld had revealed that during the process of building the evidence for the case against Jawad he came to believe key elements of Jawad's account , that he had been drugged and tricked into unknowingly playing a role in the attack, and that his confessions were coerced through questionable interrogation techniques. He had suggested that Jawad should be offered a plea deal, for a short sentence, followed by entry into a rehabilitation program , because of his very low level of culpability, the abuse he endured , and that he was still a minor when captured . It has been reported that his superiors insisted he submit to a psychiatric examination before he would be allowed to resign .
