During a raid on an Al Qaeda safe house a few weeks ago, American forces found a torture manual. The manual has detailed illustrations on different torture techniques to use such as using blow torches, vices and eye removal. Also found in the house were pictures of individuals who had endured some of these techniques. Other items found in the house included electric drills, hammers, blow torches, meat cleavers, pliers and wire cutters, chains, screw drivers, whips and handcuffs.
